Even if our hearts were as strong as a storm, we'd still feel a little bit sad
Knowing that we've lost our grandfather, our friend, our dad.
For so many years, we've felt their presence
In so many ways, we've felt complete,
But truly, even if we deny - We sometimes skip a heartbeat.
Our lives are nothing but their memories and their art,
Orbiting us each day, reminding us of who we are
Where we stand and to whom we belong,
We pray and cry up oceans for them night after night
Praying to be together just one more time, in the worlds of light.
But yes you are so fortunate, that you got to leave,
You've made it to the greater step, I pray for us to meet.
May your soul be blessed and may it shine brighter than the sun, Again and again
'I love you' it's not a lie, I may not have said it that much
But I hope you knew inside, even if I may have been unkind as such
Nothing is left for us to do but feel the tears stream down our eyes
For we, once in a while have broken their hearts with one or two lies,
Their face glows and vividly fades away from our dreams those nights
That's when we fall, fall down to our knees, pray for we could have changed
The ways we reacted back in those days.
Thoughts of those moments, thoughts of their sorrow smile
Now makes us realize how we never cared,
For that to overcome, we treasure the good times we've shared,
The times we've heard them say 'You've made me proud'
The times we've felt them lay their hands, oh so be crowned.
Their tender touch, their forgiveness
Their blessings for us and their happiness,
We pray to feel it all again
Bring it all again,
To the eternal life, after this time.
This made me cry...and i'm not lying! I saw this pinned up on my younger sister's wall in her room. May Allah bless whoever you lost and I believe they died as heroes. because they left their fabulous piece on earth (that's you) to carry on their legacy...you are a part of them, just like you said in this poem: 'Our lives are nothing but their memories and their art, Orbiting us each day, reminding us of who we are Where we stand and to whom we belong, ' In three short lines it defines the whole humanity and Allah's blessings for such beautiful life and parents! ! We wouldn't be anything we are now if it wasn't for our parents/grandparents/ancestors and their teachings. Your Grandfather would have been so proud of you for touching so many souls and giving them hope with your words! I'm sure he will Inshallah when you meet him in Jannah Insha'Allah... 10/10...
written from the heart, it could never miss its point-to encourage. good work.
A heart-felt piece of work about moving on after a tragic event giving all of us strength and hope. Beliving that we will meet our loves in the next phrase. Thank You
