By Musaddam Idriss Musa

So many hearts were broken
The day God called you home
It seems as though each one of us
Was left to survive alone.

How I wish you were still alive!
You were not only a teacher
but also a mother to me
You helped me in everything I do
I just can't express how much you taught me
So much I can't explain.

All the times I can remember,
Never once heard you complain.
The familiarity of your face
Is slowly fading away
But your helpful teachings
Are always here to stay.

I know there was a reason
That you had to leave
To keep us in your watchful eyes
So now in God we really do believe.

We are always praying nights and days
Asking for you the God's forgiveness
Hoping for your soul to rest in peace.
