Aunty Sha- poem in her memory
Habeeb Alli
June 09 2023
A vestige of Alli pride
We’re told a time for everything
For love and mourning
For family and harvesting
Such is the Biblical and Quranic saying
A life full of life
That’s Ayesha Baksh at the doorstep of Heaven
From childhood memories
Every message bears testimony to her kindness
Not to miss a birthday or Eid greeting
A family of two beautiful children and lots more
She built a life in Canada even when widowed, single handily
Uncle B left no stone unturned to love her and her family
Every single call or card was filled with lovely memories
Now her journey unto Maa, and all begins
Our hearts will go on
No more shared sugar cake, and white roses
But when you think of it
She saw her Suzy got married, methinks, finally a tear fell
for that memory
Blossomed by the presence of her son Rory and the Alli
village
Her lasting words would be alrite, take care, until we meet
again!
Godspeed to the Queen of hearts, and gratitude to our
traveling guests from afar!
