DEAR DAD

While you were praying in the month of Ramadhan, God did take you away,

And no matter how long I sit and think, I can't understand why to this day.

For you my father, was still young when you left us all, That my faith in God froze,

I felt so numb, and down hill I did fall.

For you would sacrifice your life for us, cause that's the loving person you were,

An honest, caring, sensible man who taught us how to share.

I want to tell you how my life has been doing the time since you have gone,

I fell apart, I lost my will to live, but most of all I felt alone.

For I realise now, as I always have how much you mean to me,

And I miss you dad, as God only knows I wish you were here to see.

Please forgive us for the suffering we caused you when you were alive,

For we regret that now, and we are suffering, without you by our side.

Because you were one in a million, and if we were in need you would not hesitate,

To give to us your everything, and now it seems too late.

To repay you for your kindness, and show you that we care,

And it's very hard to come to terms with the facts that your not there.

For everyone respected you, for the things you have achieved,

And inside we love you very much, that's why it's hard to hide our grieve.

So goodbye for now my father, I know that one day we shall meet,

And am glad you taught me all you know, and how to stand on my own feet.

For I have to carry on with my life, even though you're not here,

And if you walk beside me, and be my guide, I know there is nothing I should ever fear.
