He came bringing joy, leaving only memories behind
Our hearts were left broken when his time came to go
And we were left yearning for him once more
Nineteen years to fill a mother with pride,
To give a father a son who could stand up for right.
Brothers and sisters, together we were four,
Until one of us had to go, until he was no more.
The pain was excruciating, because it was real,
Because we are human, that’s all we could feel,
But we wiped our tears, and swallowed that pain,
For in Allah we trust, while on Earth we remain.
The years have come and gone away,
We still can’t understand what happened that day.
He lived with a passion and left with a smile,
And knowing Allah had blessed him, made it all worthwhile.
We can hope to be wiser with this lesson well learned,
That time and tide can never be turned.
So waste not what we have in doing the things,
That brings neither peace, nor Allah’s blessings.
O Allah, our Keeper, so Mighty and Strong,
Keep us away from all that is wrong.
Help us to stay in Your path for its true,
And one day we shall all return to you.
Ameen.
