Remembering Ayman

Mr and Mrs Taha and family....

My name is Dena Bedri and I am a former classmate of il mar7oum Ayman from UAS in Kuwait. My sister Sabrina is friends with Rabah as well and we both offer my sincere condolences on your loss,and forgive me if it is late as we just found out. Ayman was a brilliant, kind and wonderful person and treated everyone with the utmost respect and kindness. He will be remembered as so. Allah yir7amo wa yi7sin ilay.

Ayman's Song

Verse I

I saw a shooting star today
overhead, streaking by.
I reached up to touch it, hoping,
wishing,
to dip my fingers in the fire
It was quick and it was wild,
beautifully untamed, so high.
There in its space above us all,
to dance and twinkle all night long

CHORUS I

And inside the light I saw you, Ayman,
as beautiful and blinding as the sun,
un-stoppable, immortal, outside our realm.

Still now, even though you’ve passed on, you show your face
just for a second to give us hope, to give us a bitter-sweet smile,
to make us see the lives beyond lives.

Still now, you earn our respect
Still now, you make us want to be
closer to the light, closer to what’s right.

VERSE II

I saw a shooting star today, dancing, having fun.
I reached up to grab its hand, hoping to join along.
It was there one sec and then it was gone,
but it still shines in our minds all day and night long.

The star is unforgettable when I look up to the sky,
Cause your memory paints the night with your beautiful sunrise.

CHORUS II

And inside the light I saw you, Ayman,
as beautiful and blinding as the sun,
un-stoppable, immortal, outside our realm.
Still now, even though you’ve passed on, you show your face
just for a sec to give us hope, to give us a bitter-sweet smile,
to make us see the lives beyond lives.
Still now, you earn our respect
Still now, you make us want to be
closer to the light, closer to what’s right.
