The Clock Ticks

When your time is due
Others' lives won't stop for you
Each life has his own clock
But this is your last tick tock
No one knows your pain
Knocked about without restrain
It's time to say goodbye
the tears swelling in your eye
You had a chance to do good
Not always as you should
It's all now at an end
One last prayer to amend
Now they he was so young
Is the story that is far flung
He had no way to tell
But he was rather unwell
A last sigh a final breathe
He was overcome by death.

Soon

Soon

Our life on earth gets shorter with each heartbeat

Then it'll be too late that hearts do meet

When our minds are closed so too a door

A door of opportunity for us love to restore

With  time we do forget what once was something

How we cast aside the good without even blinking

When the caller comes life from our body depart

There'll be no tears for hard was the heart

But there'll be a time we'll meet our Lord

Life has ended soon we'll see what we scored

All our deeds weighing heavily on the good scale

Then one add deed and we that day fail

Yet few ponder even while the information is clear

Isn't it  about bonds and all we hold dear

Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my friend it's hard not to cry
But the contentment with Allah's decree we can't deny

Too soon is only for our earthly desire
Your life's fulfilment is what we admire

Strange how we met before you tied the knot
Your friendship in some way found in my heart a spot

Not always close in person but not distant in thought
Many things spoken and unspoken me you taught

And even now in death your fate is a reminder
Of your gentle character and no one kinder

As people gathered to pray and pay their respects
For sure it's prayers our Lord never rejects

Yes, we met at a time you took a bride
Eventually you took my choice of car as a ride

But your studious nature made you fairly well-read
And follow your example I can't tread

But in your children you leave behind those with love
For a father who treated everybody with kid glove

A wife so proud of having been your wife
For many came too soon the end of your life.

Farewell my friend as you journey to a world beyond
May Allah grant that we meet in paradise at the pond.

Eternal Love

Eternal Love

In true relationships a man and a woman do not a couple make

Except that they share a bond that they will not easily forsake

With the utmost sincerity they pledge their eternal love to each other

With ups and downs, but little do life's obstacles their relationship do bother

Something you will notice is that both are doing their best to see the other happy

Tiredness and even some illness will make neither one to the other snappy

We all know that no one is perfect and it is the faults we must overlook

Except our own we address that one day we can happily say we forsook

 

So old we grow together remembering especially every good time

The graciousness with which we live will make even our waddle then so sublime

So when we said our vows it certainly did not include "till death do us part"

Because in paradise we will meet and that I believe with all my heart
