If I Go First, Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

If I Go first,

If I go first, my love, before you,
Promise me you won't let the light fade.
Though my physical form may no longer be,
My spirit lives on, never to fade.

Keep breathing, keep moving, keep striving each day.
Let not my absence consume you, I pray.
For in your continued life, my legacy lives -
The memories we shared, the love that you give.

When the world seems dark and the path unclear,
Remember the joy that we held so dear.
The laughter we shared, the dreams we pursued -
Let those be the beacons that see you through.

I may not be there to hold your hand,
But know that I'm with you, part of this grand
Tapestry of life that we wove together.
So please, my love, keep living, no matter the weather.

For in your living, in your thriving each day,
A part of me remains, never to fade away.
So when you feel lost, or the pain is too much to bear,
Look within, and know that I'm always there.
