Abdul Sattar Edhi
(1928 - 2016)
grieve
light a
lamp
say a
prayer
for the soul
of the saint
who has
died
today
but do not
despair
the Source
of
Love and Mercy
Love and Mercy
is Ever
Living
and Eternal
with a word
He can
create an
army
of angels
and saints
like the
one
we weep for
today
the washer
and burier
of unnamed
unmourned
corpses
the one who
embraced
children abandoned
by
faithless poverty
selfishness
and shame
the
caregiver
to those
too old
too sick
too damaged
to be of
use
or interest
to anyone
else
the lover
of the
broken
the needy
the
unclaimed
the spurned
and the scorned
the lover
of those
we could
not touch
or care for
the lover
of those
we could
not
would not
love
he has
returned today
to the Mercy
that is The
Source
and his
reward
awaits him
with the Most Generous
of all
of all
so don’t
mourn him
better that
you
pray for
your own heart
your own
love
to grow as
grand
as enormous
as
beautiful
as his
