i thought i had something then
but i didn’t have you
i thought i was something then
but where were you
our Lord’s Mercy made it possible
so i could enjoy for many years
the hero of my own story
then i was told of Karbala
and my heroics were washed away
in blood and tears
nothing but a child i was
lost in his own fantasy world
dreaming of courage and insight
better to be nothing more
than a dying body riddled with arrows
to keep you safe
noble grandson of humanity’s peak
blessings and peace upon you both
