Our Little Dua

I used to think that for us, three was the perfect number

Until my heart began to wish for another member

This wish, this hope, this longing grew and grew

And grew and grew and grew

Until it filled the Gulf, the world, the universe

And everything that I knew

You took your sweet time

It was not written for us until a year

We made dua and waited

But you were worth it, my dear

Calling out with your sweet voice

You arrived on a special day

This time I felt it all

So quickly you made your way

You made your mark with your namesake

My dawn, my darling daybreak

Ippi gave you another name

Dua, let’s call her, a prayer

The Q Sisters I call you both

Two blessings we treasure

Alhamdullilah for everything

The nights, the days,

The struggles, the yays!

InshaAllah here comes happily ever after

Seven months and more of loving you

MashAllah your cute smile, your laughter

Just so precious, a dua come true ♡
