Syrian journalist Khaled al-Essa dies after bomb attack
"God chose you as one of the immortals, forever alive to never die.
He alone knows how much you deserve it, my son, he alone knows that he chose you, oh apple of my eye,
Today you are free... you are free from the thread which connected you to the most beautiful body, and your most sincere soul was lifted into outer space to the best of places, because you deserve it.
Oh heart of my soul, I will miss you and cry after this farewell for the rest of my life
My heart, my pain, my ache, no one will ever take your place, my son.. your absence will iron me and burn me and how ever will my tears dry while you are far
How will I be and you are not with me? And for what shall I wait the sunset and my days are not full of your laughter and the speed of the time with your words?
I will stare at the moon to find your face, and I will gaze at the stars, for their glitter, my son, resembles the glitter in your eyes.
I lived an age and the most beautiful of it was that I knew you, that is actually the whole story, that I knew you, and the one who touches your heart, my son, is immersed in love and will never know hate, will never know vengeance.
I will cry and forget all taste to life after you... what meaning and what life, after you, oh heart of my soul." - Raed Fares
