FOR YOU

When I was a little child,
I still recall our happy days we shared together.
I’m the youngest in the family and they think I’m a spoiled brat,
But I guess I’m not.

You’re my mentor; you taught me a lot of things in life,
Things that are useful to our everyday life.
As a Dad, you showed me the how, the why, and the where,
No matter what has come about, you were always there.

Dad, some days I hear your voice and turn to see your face;

Yet in my turning...

it seems the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers

when life does not make sense;

Who will be there to hold me close

when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time

and once more hear your voice;

I'd tell you that out of all the dads

you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you

and no one can take your place;

Years may come and go

but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Allah, as You are listening

in your home above;

Would you go and find my dad

and give him all my love.

AL FATIHAH
