My Asmaa

I never loved anybody this much

I heard your first cries

Held you in my arms

Welcomed you into the world

With Adhan and Iqama

Held you close

Gave you your first kiss 

Whispered into your cute little ears

“Welcome home”

Put dates on your lips

Watched as your sweet little tongue

Darted out to lick.

I nicknamed you my ‘tomboy’

Watched you wriggle out of your cot

Roll over and struggle to raise your head

Impatient to see what’s ahead

Even before you were two moons old.

You brought so much peace

Into my heart and life

It didn’t matter I was without a job

Or at loggerheads with those in my world.

 

I was sooo devastated when you left

But I know it is for the best,

You were a gift and your owner took you

So you will be a more precious gift

On the day that we shall meet,

Your loss was the biggest blow

The biggest test I had to undergo

 And I hope in your place I shall receive

Another who may never replace you

But I will use to fill this empty hole in my soul. 

Thinking about you always brings tears to my eyes

It will take me long to overcome losing you!

Author's Note

Though she is no more, her memory shall live on
