The Peshawar Attack

I still remember that day like it was yesterday.

I was scrolling through my facebook feed when I stumbled upon the news. I didn't know much about it, so I googled, read a few articles and was literally drowning in tears.

I remember imagining being in their shoes, but the thought was too disturbing to continue. If I were to lose a son/daughter/brother/sister/father/mother, I'd be mentally dead for the rest of my life. May Allah give their families patience and faith.

Few hours later I decided to dedicate a poem to the incident. I wrote this poem. I read it a few times before sharing it with anyone, every time tears running down my cheeks. This poem will always be a special one. I hope you like it.
