I Had a Dream
It was a blissful day, filled with peace. Happiness filled the air and the angels descended, bringing blessings from Allah. Angels looked down, praying for us as we prayed for each other. I looked back at the hardships we faced and I smiled. I no longer regretted or held any grudges. I found happiness in satisfaction. The overwhelming feelings simmered down and my heart was tranquil.

Just like a fasting person enjoying plain water, I always deeply appreciate simple things. Each smile I saw had no ill intention and All hearts were filled with joy. our companions were overwhelmed with happiness, sobbing out of pride for me. The respected one who claimed my heart calmly uttered,“May God pour His Grace on you,” as we stood in front of my dream that came true. My face was brightened by God’s light and my smile was genuine. With the peaceful rain, all anxiety disappeared and beautiful thoughts took over. I was satisfied and had no more worldly worries. The wish I made at 14 finally came true and I’ve come to be happy at last. It was a beautiful moment, as I stood in front of the place I found comfort. All I wanted was a place to feel like home and now I created a home for those like me. I’ve kept my wish hidden in my heart for a long time but it happened right before me before I even knew it. Memories of my late brothers and sisters crossed my mind and I smiled. The only ones who knew of this dream aren’t here to see it but I hope they’re proud of me when I tell them in heaven.

It was often seen in my eyes that I wanted out of my house, out of school, out of work, out of society, out of this world even. But there’s wisdom in being hurt over and over. Seeing this, I just wanted in. I wanted to be in this place, in this community, and in this world. My wish I made at seven came true despite the many issues, what bigger concerns could this world bring me that I cannot get over?
My dream orphanage was finally founded in my name with God’s grace.
