For my Father Could my soul be freed To roam the earth and universe with you Would you take me on your journeys? I am after all, from you, an extension of you Did you know, do you know That all I am is because of you All I will be, I will be for you A testament to you My soul thunders, it rattles my bones, Floods my eyes, and fills my life With sorrow , all through my days and my nights You are departed from my world My only wish is that now you are free, Blissfully happy, warm and at peace Full of love and joy, that your cup will never be empty And your plate will always be full That He holds you in his palm And loves you, and protects you, after all You are from Him as I am From you Nahid AlKhatib
