my father

[abdul4]

the soul snatched away
coldness of the corpse on my skin
all like a dream
I remember the days of tender care
from my childhood to adulthood
pangs of death a trial
tears shed
eyes red
my father
gone to meet ALLAH
no more ibadah
just loneliness in the grave
family and wealth leaves
deeds remain
and prayers of truth
I await the true day
the day of awakening
hope to be with you in jannah
to smile at you once again
in Allah's paradise

That was so moving. I recently lost both my father and my brother so I can identify with your pain.
