I am covering...

I am covering for you, dear brother, trying to journey closer to Your Lord but finding it distracting to see Him thru my perfect silhouette and seductive walk.
I am covering for you, my husband, who might not show it, but feels a tinge of jealousy and insecurity when I'm complimented and glared at by your closest friends and family.
I am covering for u,dear sister, who is shy to leave the house since you can't afford the lavish western materialistic dressing of your peers.
I am covering for you, dear sister, as an example of modesty, that I can still be stylishly covered, and when I am in my castle I can play dress up just like I did when I was a little girl.
I am covering for you, my precious daughter, to give you confidence that you are precious and you don't need to flaunt it to show it.
I am covering for myself, cos every day when I walk out that door, I should be learning a lesson in humility and modesty, and insha اَللَّه as I keep on, those qualities will find its way in my heart and vanquish my inner pride.
And most importantly, I am covering for You, My Sustainer, my Creator, my Protector, for unlike some sisters who look for hapiness, contentment and satisfaction in the pleasing gazes and compliments of others, I look for it in You, for who better to look to than the Creator and Owner of these qualitites Himself!
Please accept it from me, make me sincere, and all those sisters desiring to follow Your beautiful way give them strength and willpower to act on their intentions
