Loss of a loved one

Mourning in the morning


They didn’t take me to the funeral.
They told me I was too young.
But I - I remained strong.
It was you who kept me going on.

That day I cried.
The day you died.
I didn’t get to say goodbye.
Instead I sat and cried.

All my memories of you, not one of them bad.
But as I recollect them I am sad.
Sad that I won't ever get to talk to you .
Sad that I won't get to say how much love I had for you.

I have grown so much since you passed away.
I think about you every minute, every day.
In my heart, my feelings are still true.
In my mind, I will always remember you.

Greetings and peace be with you aamirsaab;it is nice to see your poem again after such a long time. Here is another of unknown origin.

Miss Me -- But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little--but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me--but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me--But Let me Go!

Lyrics of a nasheed about sum1 passing:

So Strong- by Zain Bhika

Where there's a right there is no wrong
I always thought we were so strong
But our time just flew right by
There wasn't a chance to say goodbye

I'm so confused
I feel all alone
Deep in my heart I know Allah has called you home

Oh but yet your smile
Still lingers in my mind
And yet it's so hard
I just break down and cry

I remember the time
Our friendship always strong
I remember your eyes
Found a way to melt my heart

Most of all I remember
I remember your smile

Sometimes I lie awake at night
The pain in my heart I just can't fight
Why did you have to go away
Yet out of none of us can stay

You'll always be
So special to me
In this world you'll always live as a memory

Oh but yet your smile
Still lingers in my mind
And yet it's so hard
I just break down and cry

I remember the times
Our friendship always strong
I remember your eyes
Found a way to melt my heart

Most of all I remember
I remember your smile
