They Mourn for their Glorious Leader
A/N: I am not from UAE, but the sudden event, and how everyone's feeling around me, made me write this. Just to let you know; His Highness Sheikh Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi has died on the 27th of October 2010. I was told he died during his sleep, and at his last few days, he was terribly ill. He was 92 when he died. May his soul rest in peace...
What was once supposed to be a normal day,
Is now a forlorn one for the people of UAE.
Tears are shed,
Heads are hung low,
For the loss of a beautiful soul.
They mourn for their glorious leader.
Faces resemble a dull expression,
People slip into black clothes,
A part of the Q'uran is recited,
For the loss of a wise soul.
They mourn for their glorious leader.
People gather at the great mosque,
Their lips turned down.
They pray,
And pay their respects,
And watch the burial of his body.
The burial of a loving soul.
They mourn for their glorious leader.
And so the days pass by,
And people break into hearty smiles.
And although they seem to have forgotten,
They really didn't.
His memory will be kept,
In their hearts,
And will be cherished,
And stored for as long as they live.
And maybe,
One day,
They might encounter him.
In the peaceful bliss of heaven.
RIP Sheikh Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi...
