My Dad
My dad gone
30 years on
He was so integral in our lives
Then no more, time flies
My dad wore many a hat
Was a sportsman, knew how to bat
Skill of keeping people together
Even if they were of different feather
Many a story we heard from him
1947 when times were grim
A true team player
Always with a care
Challenges he had
Moments to be sad
Yet always cheerful
Upbeat and grateful
His goodness lives on
Long after he’s gone
The Masjid built
Despite many a conflict
Enduring legacy he leaves
Those he touched with his deeds
Endless memories
Unite us in our reveries
