The Narratives – Mohamed Miah

Say you’ll remember me

When the soil smells damp,

What will be my legacy—

Will you be my shining lamp?

---

Say you’ll think of me

When time draws near,

Will darkness descend on me?

Will anyone care?

---

Say you’ll pray for me,

Tears of forgiveness,

Don’t have regrets for me—

Be relieved, there’s no more test.

---

Say you’ll forgive me,

We’ll meet once again,

I’ll try to leave charity

Until then… till then.
