Shroud
Angel Izrail
Shall come when your time is up
There is no notice
I must be prepared
To face the finality
Dressed in a white shroud
And to be lowered
To a final resting place
And resurrection
This is in response to Haiku Heights #191-Shroud.
Many avoid mentioning the final journey that awaits our exit from this mundane life, but it is inevitable. I still remember my late father's final journey on the 11th of May 2011 to be laid to rest at the Makam Tuan Hj Said in Seremban and may his soul be placed together with those who are pious, Ameen.

Remember the departed loved ones and we recite AlFatihah praying that He will bless them all
Pak Cik,
Thanks for the reminder, Alfatihah.
Dear Hal,
This is a constant reminder that life is just a 'borrowing of a time' and we have to make the most of it! Al- Fatihah to those who have gone earlier!
