On this day, what I remember.
This was the day, I had to cope with my temper.
I slept all night, and I did awake.
Waking up to a moment, that put my life at stake.
A phone call, that I knew could happen.
This was a day, there was no clapping.
Being a single father, living with my son.
On this day, his life taking by a gun.
Why didn’t he listen, to the suggestion I gave.
Cut from the same cloth, is how he behaved.
Intelligent and smart, and that he was.
But going back to the block, and he did that much.
Not being able, to let go of the lifestyle.
On this day he died, and it took away my smile.
But I have no regrets, because Allah already knew.
It was a test of my faith, so I live in my truth.
Not seeking revenge, because it’s only a test.
It made me grow spiritually, now I live and give my best!
Inna illahi inna ilayhi rajiun (from Allah we came to Allah we return!
