My love to Saleh

The fire didn’t tame you

Or even cast you away

You stood true to your faith

And with love you didn’t sway

It was a test that you were given

And passed you surely did

It was a test to speak truth

In the face of lies others hid

Lies that made you die

Where God saw your heart

And no matter what the loss

It’s what always kept you apart

So yes I still cry

Knowing you aren’t here

But take comfort in knowing

That with you Heavens near

So with that I’ll still hope

And know who I am is true

A truth to a land you died on

That was our very home to you

Saleh Aljahfarawi we love you
