without mom..

growing up as a child

i still remember mom so well

i still remember her good night kisses

and the stories she would tell

there were six of us kids

she was busy as could be

she loved us all so much

anyone could see..

as each day would end

she'd finally get a break

she'd always read her quran

and then she would pray

then came the day

she was still strong as can be

her faith was remarkable

but us kids,the pain she didn't want us to see

as each day went by

we stayed at her side

we watched her fade away

and all we could do was cry..

in her final moments

i knew it wouldn't be long

death was in her eyes

God soon would carry her home

i stayed by her side

for 2 long days

she smiled and close her eyes

then she drifted away

God give me the strength

to let her go..

and she still knows today

how i missed her so

i still try to make mom proud

because she's looking from above

she would be proud of me

and i thank her for all her love..

your daughter
