Thank you My Lord

Today I realised
how much my Lord loves me
He has proetected me
from all the calamities

He gave me a mother
and a father
and how many times have
I taken them for granted?

He gave me a sister
to play with
who will first think of me
before herself

and how many times
have i walked passed her
unnoticed?

He gave me clothes
and food
and drink
He gave me chocolate
and ice creams

He gave me shoes to wear
and how many times
did I nag my mother
on how old they had become?

He gave me love
He gave me friendship
He gave me the Quran Shariff
to be my strenght and guide

He gave me little trials
A little exam to pass
A small task to perform
and how I failed them?

Today He showed me
the kind of trials He has given
my other brothers and sisters

Trials of hunger
Trials of death
Trials of poverty
Trials of subgugation

Today I can see
how dearly blessed I am
I beg for forgiveness
of all those times

that I was ungrateful
that I didn't notice
that I didn't realise
of the kindness of my Merciful Lord
