Alf Laylah wa-Laylah

Oh My Dear Child, time has passed – like a slow meandering sailboat – lost at sea – in a fog – no wind for direction – no hope for salvation.

One Thousand and One Nights.

I have not heard the sound of your voice.
I have not wiped your teary eye.
I have not held you close.

I have not kissed your cheek.
I have not heard your laugh.
I have not seen you play.

One Thousand and One Nights.

I have not brushed your teeth.
I have not read your bedtime story.
I have not watched you sleep.

One Thousand and One Nights.

I have not embraced you – in Your time of need.
I have not expressed my Love – My Darling Child.
I have not shared with You – that none are more precious – You are my Soul and Love – Forever.

Oceans may separate us – but no distance shall unbind us – the eternal bond – and Love – of a Father – for His Child.
