I am a second generation British Pakistani and I wanted to write something for my grandad and all the people who came to England to help our families love a better life.
I call it “ A Beautiful Generation”
You came from the motherland
To give us a better life
In our Muslim faith, we are connected forever
My brothers and sisters bonded side by side
The trials and tribulations you faced
Was our gift to live the lives we live
We will make you proud
For our sins please forgive
Now as time passes, we are losing you
You gave us our chance to become the best we can be
I will always treasure the moments we had with you
My hero you will always be to me
As Allah swt has called you home
May we smile when we imagine your face. When your up there, one last favour
Save me a place
