Happy Belated Birthday (from the Dear Siraaj Series)

Stay strong my son, you are greatly missed

My love and prayers are with you this entire endeavor

For that is all it is – an endeavor

A schooling of sorts, to drive us within

To reflect, learn – put into action

Hold on – as we hold on

I believe in you son – all will be well

I am so proud of you – congratulations on the G.E.D.

Though, things may appear bleak – know this

 

I love you son – dearly

I shall forever be supportive of you – even in my passing

For love does not die – do not let others gourd you into

Acting out – (this may not be easy) but keep your goal upfront

And foremost – for God is ever watching out, carrying you

When all seems for not – you are never alone

Though, at times it feels as if you truly are…

 

Know this my son – you’re meant for greater pastures

Some times the good Lord has to intervene

Stop us dead in our tracks – if he feels we are traveling

Down the path – he has not intended for us…

 

Know this my son – it is when we’ve made a conscious effort

Of acknowledgement; that we notice the light within

He will, through his grace – illumine it further

To reflect without – the bounty meant for us…

 

Know this my son – I love you

 

Love,

Dad
