11 years already

For My Daddy

Have you seen my Daddy?

I don't know where he's gone

Sometimes it hurts so much

I can't seem to carry on.

I hear he doesn't look quite the same

He doesn't need much rest

The IV and medications are all gone

In fact, he looks his best.

Is he playing tag with his parents?

In that place way up high?

Or is he napping in God's garden

Where the beautiful in hammocks lie?

Some say he is always watching

I hope this to be true

And that one day he'll return to me

And say, "I've come for you"

Have you seen my Daddy?

I imagine he's doing okay

Though it hurts to know

I can't call him every day.

I really miss my Daddy

I wasn't ready to say goodbye

It will never be the same

Years from now, I know I'll cry.

I bet God is with my Daddy

Wrapped up in His arms

Sheltered from all illness and sorrow

Keeping him from harm.

I bet he sees us mourning

But would want us to smile

And tell us our time apart

Is only a little while.

I'll never quite understand

Why your time here was so small

But you said you'll always be there

To catch me when I fall.

I miss you so much Daddy

But I hope and pray

That when it's my time you'll come for me

I'll see you again someday.

I guess it was meant to be

That your work here on Earth was done

Now your life in paradise

Has only just begun.

Tears that I weep and prayers

Will hopefully travel very far

To reach my loving daddy

Sitting among the stars.

This poem seems pretty close with my feeling every time when I miss Ayah. It touches to the deepest of my heart. Now, 11 years he gone. Al-Fatihah.
