A friend recently had a grandfather pass away. We are from Allah, and to Him we return. Please recite a Fatiha for the deceased
I laid a wreath on your grave today
blinking back visions blurred by tears
Oh, the things I want now to say
As I remember your love through years
Countless prayers now leave my lips
praying for the blessing of your soul
And in those prayers leaving my lips
part by part, I begin to feel whole
It's not my place to question why
and demand that you got more years
but in the memory of your smile and sigh
I return the smile, and blink back tears
6 years ago
What a lovely poem, with a lovely, lovely ending.
ReplyDeleteThis is the way we should great the deceased. Little tears, lots of dua, and a smile.
May he rest in peace.
Thank you. My friend liked it too.
