Standing By Your Grave Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Standing by your grave, my dear father
I feel the weight of your absence
A longing for your voice, your touch
A pain that never fades, a constant presence

Memories of your laughter and your smile
Fill my heart with warmth and love
But the reality of your absence is so profound
That I can't help but feel lost and alone

I miss the times we spent together
The stories you told, the wisdom you shared
Your guidance and your gentle love
Are things I'll cherish, forever and always

As I stand here, by your final resting place
I feel a sense of peace and calm
Knowing that you are happy there
And that your spirit lives on, in me and all those you touched

Though I miss you more than words can express
I know that you will always be with me
In my heart, my memories and the love we shared
Forever and always, my dear father, you'll be
