Even if our hearts were as strong as a storm, we'd still feel a little bit sad <br />Knowing that we've lost our grandfather, our friend, our dad. <br />For so many years, we've felt their presence <br />In so many ways, we've felt complete, <br />But truly, even if we deny - We sometimes skip a heartbeat. <br /> <br />Our lives are nothing but their memories and their art, <br />Orbiting us each day, reminding us of who we are <br />Where we stand and to whom we belong, <br />We pray and cry up oceans for them night after night <br />Praying to be together just one more time, in the worlds of light. <br /> <br />But yes you are so fortunate, that you got to leave, <br />You've made it to the greater step, I pray for us to meet. <br />May your soul be blessed and may it shine brighter than the sun, Again and again <br />'I love you' it's not a lie, I may not have said it that much <br />But I hope you knew inside, even if I may have been unkind as such <br /> <br />Nothing is left for us to do but feel the tears stream down our eyes <br />For we, once in a while have broken their hearts with one or two lies, <br />Their face glows and vividly fades away from our dreams those nights <br />That's when we fall, fall down to our knees, pray for we could have changed <br />The ways we reacted back in those days. <br /> <br />Thoughts of those moments, thoughts of their sorrow smile <br />Now makes us realize how we never cared, <br />For that to overcome, we treasure the good times we've shared, <br />The times we've heard them say 'You've made me proud' <br />The times we've felt them lay their hands, oh so be crowned. <br /> <br />Their tender touch, their forgiveness <br />Their blessings for us and their happiness, <br />We pray to feel it all again <br />Bring it all again, <br />To the eternal life, after this time.<br /><br />Aqeb Benazir Ibn Minar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-of-the-broken/
