There was a day
when the beloved one had to say goodbye…
Oh that very day!

When Rasul came to feel 
that the very signs of his final days 
had come
He summoned Fatima 
kissed her by the head
whispered words that turn her into a cry
and another that made her smile

Later Fatima explained:
"First he told me he would meet The Lord 
in a short while - so I cried.
Then he asked me not to cry - 
because I am the first of the family to join. 
Then I smiled.

So short was the time after… 
and the noble Prophet closed his live forever…

Oh, that very day!
Who wanted that day to come … 
to a painful griefsome?
Oh, that very moment!
The world melted in sorrowful lament.
