My Pursuit

It's been said that my martyrdom comes by way of my marriage and the performance of hajj;
yet at times I feel achieving such an honor is as sure as a desert mirage...
Even though, I've seen the Holy House and held the black stone in my palm...
and I've offered sajdah in front of Prophet Ibrahim's (a) Maqam...
I fight hard to be an obedient, pious, and loving wife;
and with patience I endure the many struggles and strife;
all in hopes of tasting the sweet fruits of the afterlife....
