Miss you I do, dearest Mamma, truly I do

Miss you I do, dearest Mamma, truly I do
Lonely is my journey without you dearest Mamma
Ever by my side in every other you who always were
By my side in every trial every success you who were
In you flew the moment our beloved Fareen was struck
I am here said you and joined her in arduous battle you did
Your strength your courage your care unstinting you gave
Till conquer she did in three long years by Allaah's Grace

Came me next, healthy with you one day abed the next
Outward cheer you showed, worried fretted yet you did
Frailer now, yet giving diligent care for my wellbeing
By my bedside every afternoon, as open my eyes I did
Our time together, just pleasant company not much talk
Missed not a night, before sleep by my side sit you would
My eyes I close, you here by me I see, dearest Mamma
Miss you I do, dearest Mamma, truly I do

Walked as I did following Fareen's path to recovery
Came your phone call well I am not pain in the chest
Fly in tomorrow we will dearest Mamma, check we will fret not
Worry you did fret you did oh to alleviate how we tried
Allaah's Will, it was not to be, as we accept you did
Joined my journey you had, lesser in extent present yet
Years of strength and courage against heart disease you had
Shaken by cancer, for your beloved sister taken it had

A momentary relapse, your battle gear again you donned
Faith, prayer, your indomitable inner strength took over
Aged, yet lion hearted, under another surgeon's knife you slid
Frailer you emerged, bravely my hand on our path you took
Allaah's Divine Plan we His humble servants cannot comprehend
Unto Him Most Merciful Most Beneficent swiftly took you He did
Free of suffering, final prayers you had said, so Supreme His Compassion
Surely to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return.

Undoubted happier surely you are, in Allaah's Grace, dearest Mamma
Husbandly and filial love, care, in abundance surely I receive
Your love your commentary this journey yet I surely sorely miss
Your wrath suffer would my doctors were you here as well I am not
Accept I do, My Creator's Decree Most Merciful, Most Benevolent
Strength I beg Allaah to soldier on without you, Mamma dearest
Beseech I do Allaah daily, to accept you Mamma unto His Divine Protection
Ya Rabbul A'alameen, grant my beloved Mamma entry into Jannath.
Aameen.
