September Girl (For Bushra) Verse 1 September came and brought the morning light, The tenth day dawned so clear and bright. A little girl with curious eyes, A heart so big, a spirit wise. And every year when autumn starts to bloom, I smile because we share that birthday moon. Mother and daughter, born in the same season's glow, A bond that only we could ever know. Chorus Oh Bushra, September girl, you've traveled far and wide, Through every storm and winding road, you never lost your light. Life may have bent your branches, but it could not break your soul, For kindness fills your heart, my dear, and love has made you whole. Strong and fierce, yet gentle too, that's always who you've been, My daughter, my September girl, I'd choose you once again. Verse 2 The teenage years were difficult and hard, Life dealt you many unexpected cards. At fourteen years we sent you far away, Believing it would help you find your way. Looking back through all the years gone by, A mother's heart still wonders why. You came back home at fifteen years old, But some of life's deep wounds are hard to fold. Chorus Oh Bushra, September girl, you've traveled far and wide, Through every storm and winding road, you never lost your light. Life may have bent your branches, but it could not break your soul, For kindness fills your heart, my dear, and love has made you whole. Strong and fierce, yet gentle too, that's always who you've been, My daughter, my September girl, I'd choose you once again. Verse 3 At eighteen years, a young bride standing tall, And little Brandon came and changed it all. Though life was sometimes rough and hard to steer, Your parents helped to keep him safe and near. Your twin brothers stood beside him through the years, Helping calm his worries, dry his tears. And later Imran joined that loving line, Giving Brandon strength and precious time. Bridge Then love arrived from far across the sea, A Canadian named Mike, your destiny. Not long after your father's final days, You found a new beginning in life's maze. You made a home beneath the northern sky, Where dreams were given room to grow and fly. And then sweet Priya came with joyful eyes, A blessing wrapped beneath Canadian skies. Verse 4 Brandon and Priya became your world complete, The rhythm of your heart, your life's heartbeat. And though your father left this earth behind, His memory still lives within your mind. I see you both with morning cups of tea, Before he'd leave for work so faithfully. Those simple moments became treasures in your soul, A father's love helping make you whole. Chorus Oh Bushra, September girl, you've traveled far and wide, Through every storm and winding road, you never lost your light. Life may have bent your branches, but it could not break your soul, For kindness fills your heart, my dear, and love has made you whole. Strong and fierce, yet gentle too, that's always who you've been, My daughter, my September girl, I'd choose you once again. Verse 5 You found new meaning in the spirit's call, The unseen world that connects us all. You learned that healing comes in many ways, And found new purpose in your later days. You'd give the shirt right off your back to those in need, A heart of gold in every word and deed. Your brothers know the love you always share, And your children know you'll always be there. Final Chorus Oh Bushra, September girl, you've traveled far and wide, Through every storm and winding road, you never lost your light. You've turned your life around with grace and courage strong, And every chapter led you to where you belong. Strong and fierce, yet gentle too, a mother, friend, and guide, And I am proud beyond all words to stand here by your side. Outro So here's to all the roads you've walked, The tears you've cried, the truths you've sought. My daughter, my friend, my heart, my pride, Forever and always, I'm grateful you're mine. September girl, keep shining bright, Your father's smile is in your light. And as your mother, this much is true— The world is better because of you. ❤️
