Death finds us all
But in the passing what awaits us?


Poem Artwork

Easy was a stranger to the moment


As death’s shadow foretold the news


A long awaited message


All the same not easy to consume


Now before an anxious few


A finality that sorrow fills the soul


The task ahead to ease the pain


The messenger of doom


Now in circumstance’s blackness


Finality awaits its messenger


And I reluctant in my charge


Deliver that which crushes the heart


God help us all in these times


Loved ones passing into your charge


Amen

My heart goes out to you and yours...
Lost a dear cousin myself just a week ago,
May Allah have mercy on him. Aameen.
Best regards,
