AN ENLIGHTENING POEM

I came across recently an enlightening poem which I thought, should be shared by you, our esteemed visitors. This beautiful poem entitles The Difference.

THE DIFFERENCE

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why didn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and bounty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said,"But you didn't seek."

I tried to come to God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided.
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray

In our endeavor to achieve success, we sometimes take things for granted until we encounter difficulties or tragedies.

The above poem reminds us the greatness of God (Allah for Muslim). Let us show our gratitude by worshiping Him. We ask for His guidance, we seek for His blessings and we knock for His love. May God grants His compassion and mercy to all of us, Amen.
