I Never Thought That This day Would Come

Mak

When I was an asthmatic toddler,you held me in your arms all night
so that I could breathe easy and fall asleep...

When I was bullied by the bigger kids in primary school,
you intervened and assured me it's allright

When I mixed with the wrong company and my grades were poor in secondary school,
you took the necessary measures and made sure I passed my O levels

When I didnt do quite well in Poly,
you told me it's ok and just keep trying

When I studied overseas for three years
you took every opportunity to visit me (like about seven times)

Mak

Even when I'm all grown up and started a family,
you were always so concerned about me
of whether I was working too hard and neglecting my health
Even as your own health was deteriorating

Mak

I always thought of you as a Superwoman,that somehow you would get through this
I was wrong this time, you've departed to a better place
I know I shouldn't question God's will
Not a day passes by without me thinking of you
Deep down inside I feel the pain
It's like a bad dream that refuses to awake
But they say Time will heal everything

Mak

You always say that Friday is a holy day
And that if a Muslim departs on a Friday,he would be prayed for by the congregation at the mosque
Your final wish was fulfilled
I am not a superstitious person
but when the Imam said the supplications(doa) for you
It started to rain
They say that when it rains,your prayers are answered

Mak

Till we meet again,God Willing,I have to be good
so that we can meet in heaven when its my turn to leave this world

Al-Fatihah
