Pakistan

I don't know who you were

Or

the person you were trying to become

but my soul is humming songs of pain and solace for you & your country

for this day should have never come



a day full of terror and nightmares
a day full of toils & snares
a day that was supposed to be full of promise

I honor you having never known the sound of your heart beat
or the color of your eyes
or what it would feel like to ever see you smile

You are now counted among the stars & protected from any harm

My only prayer is that God will offer Holy arms of comfort to
all of your friends, parents, brothers, & sisters that mourn.

To those that mourn I pray for your strength, for though we
are from different lands, ethnicities, and religions;
I pray for your healing & if I could give a piece
of me so you could have peace I would.

But this is what I have to offer.

My heart, through these words in a naive way, hoping that
somehow, in someway it will help you not to suffer.

I end with your standard greeting:

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi wa barakato

I really do pray for the peace & mercy & blessing of God upon you.

A friend you never met.

Meagan.
