Ya Allah (A poem)
Today, upon a
bus,
I saw a girl
with golden hair.
and wished I was
as fair.
When suddenly
she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble
down the aisle.
She had one leg
and wore a crutch.
But as she
passed, a smile.
Ya Allah,
forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs,
the world is mine.
I stopped to buy
some candy.
The lad who sold
it had such charm.
I talked with
him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late,
it'd do no harm.
And as I left,
he said to me,
"I thank you,
you've been so kind.
It's nice to
talk with folks like you.
You see," he
said, "I'm blind."
Ya Allah,
forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes,
the world is mine.
Later while
walking down the street,
I saw a child
with eyes of blue.
He stood and
watched the others play.
He did not know
what to do.
I stopped a
moment and then I said,
"Why don't you
join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead
without a word.
And then I knew,
he couldn't hear.
Ya Allah,
forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears,
the world is mine.
With feet to
take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see
the sunset's glow.
With ears to
hear what I'd know.
Ya Allah,
forgive me when I whine.
I've been
blessed indeed, the world is mine.
If this poem
makes you feel like I felt just
forward it to
all your friends after all, it's
just a simple
reminder that we have so-o-o
much to be
Thankful for!!!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
