A dedication to the graduates
A Reminiscence
I used to say how slow time goes!
I have three more years to go!
Oh look, my seniors are graduating
They’re going to face a more challenging life
but at least…they are out of IIU!!
How fast time goes now!!
There’s the five assignments I need to do
and oh yes the mid term tests coming up back to back!
and oh No, three more weeks to go before the exam period
Lord help me now. Time is running out.
I’ll remember the friends who have stayed true
The times we have spent together…
The laughters and tears, hand in hand working together
I’ll remember the classmates, the groupmates, the discussion mates
every single person with different ways of thinking
not to mention the different attitudes!
of course, the beloved lecturers!
Their words and smiles printed in my mind
No thank yous or gifts would replace
the valuable KNOWLEDGE they have taught
Their words of courage and the spirit of Da’wah in them
May ALLAH bless them all
I’m coming back now
For that precious scroll
The meaning of hard work
The meaning of sacrifices
The meaning of Lillahi Ta’ala
For the smiles on my father’s and mother’s faces
The meaning of their hopes for me
I’m coming back now
Not from a two weeks break
Not from a weekend trip
Not from an emergency break (remember the haze?)
Unexpressed emotions in me
Seeing familiar faces once again
I need to immortalize these memories
For I’m coming back now
Only to leave you behind
A part of my past
But the step to my future
-IIU-
