She will forever be in my heart
A child looks bemused at all that is before her
Why is it that at my home all these people gather
Some faces are strange, yet others I know
The movement of people is a constant flow
Many teary-eyed murmur a prayer
This really looks like people who care
I need to make sense of all that is going on
And where, o where, has my mommy gone
There she is, so quietly she is lying
While some around her I can hear crying
It is so not normal a place for a bed
And see how some people kiss her on her head
They are calling for me to do the same
I know for sure this is not a game.
More prayers and then she is carried out
I have some idea now what this is about
Today my mommy has moved house
For now my daddy will be without a spouse
As she is hoisted and placed on the cart
I know she will forever be in my heart
O Allah I know you have taken my mommy away
Grant Paradise for her as a place to stay
