"A Year Gone By"
Yo, it's been a year, can you believe it?
Dad's gone, and I'm still grieving, can't conceive it
Every day's a struggle, a constant fight
Missing him like crazy, day and night
Remember when we used to hang out, just you and me
Crossing the sea waves, fishing together, wild and free
Now I'm all alone, feeling lost and blue
Wishing I could turn back time, make it new
I try to keep it together, but it's hard to do
The pain's so deep, it cuts right through
I miss your laughter, your smile, your wit
The hole you left is one I can't quite fit
But I'll keep your memory alive, forever strong
Your love will guide me, right or wrong
So rest in peace, Dad, I'll always care
Your spirit's with me, I'll always share
Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, reward me in my affliction and replace it for me with something better.”
“O Allah, Your mercy encompasses everything, so grant him mercy that brings peace to his soul and comfort to his eyes.”
“O Allah, forgive him, for You are the One who said, ‘And He pardons much.’”
“O Allah, place light on his right side, so that You resurrect him secure and reassured in Your light.”
“O Allah, he has come to Your door and sought refuge in Your presence, so bestow upon him Your forgiveness, honor, and generosity.”
“O Allah, give him glad tidings with Your words, ‘Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past.’”
