Shaheena, I wrote this tribute for you and your beloved parents:
THE STAR OF HEAVEN
How surreal this day
How astonished the night
The child I held in my heart
And nurtured through the years
Dances tonight in the arms of the angels
No more the pain
No more the daunting process
Of managing the ache
Clutching the clouds
My child, tonight you roam pain-free
When you look down at us
You will smile
To see friends and well-wishers
Celebrate what you meant to them
Even between tears
In your eyes, I believe there is
A twinkle of victory
You lived a life of giving
A life that meant so much
To so many
So I say to you my child
Embrace the wings
And ride the clouds
Rejoice for our ray of sunshine
Is now the star of heaven
