THE EVOLUTION OF MY LIKES AND LOVE

As a boy,
Who loved comic books,
I liked Tarzan.

As a youth,
Who loved prize-fighting,
I loved Ali*.

As student,
Who studied scriptures,
I loved Samson.

In movies,
I liked Clark Gable,
To me he is still the 'King'.

Actresses,
Were favourites too,
Ingrid Bergman was the best.

Prettiest,
Of all in the world,
Is India's Madhubala.

In my quest,
For true love there was,
Daphne, my first love.

As years flew,
Making me wiser,
Prophet Muhammad is the man.

In my search,
For the god of all,
I found Almighty Allah.

Life goes on,
Days, weeks, months and years,
Each moment takes me higher.

I worship,
And thank my Lord God,
He's none other than Allah.

Allah -- God,
Seek Him and be blessed,
Allah, Elohim, Ishwar.

His are the,
Most beautiful names,
Now I love Him the most of all.
