By M H AhssanI originally wrote this memorial death poem in September last year as part of an art and poetry collection that I was developing. The original poem was inspired by an abstract 'web history painting' that I had named "My Fathers Mask". Then today as I got ready to post the original poem on my blog I realized that it was February 26, the anniversary of my father's death. You may call it coincidence if you wish, but I do not believe in coincidences. So I decided to rewrite the original poem as a memorial poem in honor of my late father.
My intention in creating this lens is to remember my father and at the same time bring comfort to those of you who are grieving the death of a loved one. I hope that the inspirational memorial poems, fathers death quotes and memorial gifts in this lens are of some help to you. This memorial poem is titled, "My Fathers Mask: Death the Journey Home." and it is dedicated to my dear father, the late Mohammed Ahsanuddin Akhter, who passed away on Fenruary 26, 2010. He was a special man and a wonderful father and I thank God for blessing me with such a great dad.
He did not have a mask in his study but he had plenty of books and he loved to read and learn. He passed this love for the written word on to all of us and he always said that knowledge was the one thing that nobody could take away from you. Two of my father's favorite poems that I cherish to this day are "Allama Iqbal verses on his mother's death & Creation of my father on his mother's death." These two inspirational poems encourage me and keep me going whenever my spirits are low. I find solace in reading my fathers favorite poems and I know that even if he is gone from this world he is still watching over me. Rest in Peace, dear Papa, you will always be loved and cherished.
