Till I met her
I never knew what love was
I never knew what love was
till I met her.
I never knew what love was
I never knew what love was
till she accepted my love.
I never knew what care was
I never knew what care was
till she showed her concern for me.
I never knew what kindness was
I never knew what kindness was
till she forgave me when I was angry.
I never knew what compassion was
I never knew what compassion was
till I experienced her empathy towards me.
I never knew what life was
I never knew what life was
till she came into my life.
When I was running after the soldiers,
When I was pulling the trigger, thinking I was
fighting a holy war,
When I was shouting with pride after the
bombing,
I never knew what life was.
After seeing so many innocents dying,
I never knew what life was.
When I saw her risking her life to save the
innocents, I asked myself, "What is life?" and started following
her.
After witnessing her cry for the children dying in
her arms, I stared at my gun for a while and experienced tears after a long
time. That day, I decided not to touch my gun again. I began working with her
and discovered that the true holiness in life lies in being human, and she is
the one who made me human.
