Should this blog one day goes silent
no more replies to your comments
and new entry not to be seen
would you be asking...."how have I been?"
I wonder.....

Who am I, but a blogger
known to only a few, to others a mere writer
and if one day, I remain in sleep
and all my passwords scattered at my feet
would you visit me at my final resting place?
Or in my absence you seek solace?
I wonder......
Here close to me are people I often ignore
in my earnest pursuit of reaching different shores
and should my children weep my final departure
and in silent tears they will say prayers
"Daddy is gone - God loves him dearly
In Heaven he rests and looks down on us smilingly"
Should this blog one day goes silent
wonder no more....
for I may have found my reason.

Tears ... are words a heart can't bear to say
my tears flow, just thinking of the final day
Would I pass the test
Have I been at my best?
Forgive me God....for all of my sins
In the night darkness, I stay awake counting
My days are indeed numbered
it has taken me this long to have that figured
In you O the Merciful and Compassionate
I place my trust, my fear, my hope.
A reminder unfolds before my very eyes
In life and death, we choose our own ways
"Which way shall I take?"
"Take the God's way" I'm reminded of that today!

Should this blog one day goes silent
wonder not how have I been.....
For I may have made my choice
To make up for the time I have lost.

But I won't bid farewell
I may return one day with a story to tell...

.....

  1. Abe Id,
    I'm lost for words - you wrote beautifully as always.

    Apa yg berlaku adalah pengajaran serta ingatan drp Tuhan utk kita hambaNya yg mudah lupa bhw akhirat jualah yg kekal abadi.

    I may not commented everyday but know that I'm always present!
    Salam utk k.LiL gak.

    I suppose many of us have been deeply affected by what happened to a family far away that we only know through blogging. But it serves as a reminder of how fragile life is. It also serves to remind us that redha, tawakkal and faith has a lot to offer.

    Al fatihah to arwah, and to the family, may they be showered with blessings always.

  11. Spot on indeed, reminder to us all.

    I couldn't hold back my tears when I read D's entry. I admire her for her strength & calmness. But who are we all to defy what has been written? It will not be brought forward or delayed even for a second.

    Take care bro! Clear blue skies always.

  12. Malam semalam Amy dah nangis baca D punya entry, pagi ni dok terbayang2 lagi entry dia, dok imagine what if Amy kat tempat dia. I doubt that I'll be as strong as her. Balik keje baca blog Abg Id dulu, sedih balik. :(

  13. Mr Id,
    Kita serupa. Dicipta untuk seketika dan kembali padaNya dengan segala assessment yang telah dijanji. Syukur kita punya segala-galanya.

    Buat ingatan: Jangan Sedih Dengan Apa yang Kita Tiada, kerana Kita ada apa yang orang lain Tiada...
