Dear Lord

dear lord,
where does a sorrow filled heart begin?
you handed us this battle
did we win?
a question on many people's minds
with answers they can't find.
but lord i know we won.
you loaned us Gilani
as you loaned us your son.
she's in your hand now as your will be done
upon her and this family.
we hand her to you gratefully.
another angel to guide us through the haze
as we continue in these earthly days.
we know she sits beside her daughter.
though our eyes continue to water.
i thank you yet again
for granting us such a friend.
your strength through her lives on in us.
dispersed across the universe.
every heart touched by you through her.
every soul caused to stand and stir
up tears that fall upon cheeks
that create the smiles that love Gilani.
i know I'll see her again when you want me.
and it will be an honor
to sit with her again, father.

R.I.P. Gilani and Jayla
<3 Love Always,
Nasia
