Tick tock
Tick tock
Listen to the whir of the clock
On the wall
Listen for the sounds of every holiday
All the joy in everyone’s hearts
Hear them all
They hold their loved ones near
We wait for the moments
That EVERYONE else gets freely
All of them
I lay here wishing Umair you were home
932ish days, WE have been waiting for our turn in line
Anniversaries
Birthdays
Christmas’s
New Year too,
Easter
And EID
We even held each other as closely as we could as Mom smiled softly at us
She shared her jokes with us
And softly and sweetly
Left this earth for Janna and gained her angel wings
Although she told us she had worked it all out with Allah, feathers were optional
Tick tock
Tick tock
Listening now to the beat of my heart
It races each and every day for only you
My heart races for the moment you climb on a plane and come home to me
You are my forever
My husband and you mean everything to me
