Mum and dad~Zain bhikha

You held my hand to steady meTill I was ready to make a standOn my own two feetWhile my world was crumbling downAnd you tried your best to shelter meFrom the coming of the stormYou opened my eyes to seeThat all hope was not goneYou held me in your armsAnd wiped away my tearsNot even in a million yearsCan I ever repay youfor what you’ve done for me?You were there when I feltThat there was no place for meYou were there to show meHow to truly believeIn the miracle of creationIn the good and the badOh how I love you Mum and DadYou were there to lift me upWhen I was far too smallTo see a brighter tomorrowAnd face it proud and tallWhen my head was down you prayed for meSaid I just need some timeYou said to spread my wings and flyGive the world of what was insideYou taught me to tryTo do my best to inspirePeople of every kindThat’s a gift from AllahThat I can never claim as mineYou were there when I feltThat there was no place for meYou were there to show meHow to truly believeIn the miracle of creationEven when you’re lost and scaredOh how I love you Mum and DadOh Allah, bless themAnd always keep them safe from harmGrant them places in ParadiseAnd Your eternal SalaamYou were there when I feltThat there was no place for meYou were there to show meHow to truly believeIn the miracle of creationIn the good and the badOh how I love you Mum and Dad
