PAPA

My dad loves this song. I just love the lyrics!

-PAPA-


Everyday my papa worked
To help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
(To) keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said

Growing up with him was easy
time just flew on by
The years began to fly
He aged and so did I

I could tell
That mama wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
When she died
My papa broke down and cried
All he said was, "God, Why not take me!"

Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
He never went upstairs
All because she wasn't there

Then one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm proud (of) the way you've grown
make it on your own
I'll be O.K. alone."

Every time I kiss my children
Papa's words ring true
"Your children live through you.
They'll grow and leave you, too"
I remember every word my papa used to say
I live that every day
He taught me well that way

Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said

Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed
Tuck me in my bed
After all my prayers were said

The bitter sweet of life

Dedicated to my friend. Alfatihah. To Allah we belong, and to him we shall return.

I see her now
The bespectacle girl
on the year we were in those days
too quite
too good
for the rest of us
that could be termed rowdy

I remember
thinking about her
she must be clever
she must be outstanding
my thought was not wrong
as i knew her

The relationship tends to take its own journey
as i met you again
as i can see you again
after we were separated

I never knew
This is the last time we met
after the last time
i would relieve our childhood days
while driving along the street
belting out songs

And then
it had to happen
unaided,fragile
as i walk you slowly

all prim and proper
admonishing me for my misbehaviour

Goodbye my dearest friend
its true
It is the autumn of my heart
death ends the life
but not relationship like ours.

Ayin

Hail Storm In Perth.









March 23 (Bloomberg) -- Perth, Western Australia’s capital, faces milder weather today after recording its wettest March day since 1971 as wind and hailstones almost as large as tennis balls hit the city .That was the worst recorded over 30 years.I was there, and witnessed it with my own eyes.that was crazy i think.
