Such a special soul
Epitome of gratitude
Gladness was a goal
It was a choice and attitude
No matter the aches and pains
Uplifting messages she sent
Ever cheerful n content
Forever desirous to learn n gain
The hardship and suffering
Taken with a smile, no muttering
It was always alhamdulillah
Will earn her her Jannah
The best of friends,
The best of grans,
Ever ready to cook and make
Family’s favourite Rotis n bakes
Excellent at stitching
Nimble fingers at dressmaking
Green hands in the garden
All before the joints hardened
Despite the aches and pains
Gratitude was her refrain
Warmest loving of souls
Connectiing was her goal
Friends far and wide,
There was no divide
They were young and old
All saddened when told
There’s a steady decline
A plan that was Diivine
How grateful she was
for family and friends
A gem of a daughter
Supportive sisters
Bros and the loving son
Nieces nephews and grans
The deep sorrow we felt
When msgs were no longer sent.
Pray was all we could do
For comfort and ease, as we quietly rue
God’s last gift to her
Despite all the tearful blur
Soul taken on Jummah
What a fulfilled dua
