Just Remember

Remember to thank the Lord, for while you lay sheltered in your warm blankets and stable roof,they lay shivering blanketed by the harsh winds,sheltered by what one could ever refer to as home. As you arise to that warm bath,that hot coffee and that flavorful mouth watering breakfast they are listening to the sound of their growing tummies melodically crying out in hunger relishing even that bone left over by a dog. remember to thank the Lord, for the troublesome child you bore for their tears have turned to blood, crying...hoping for their next child to live longer than a month. Thank him for the mother in torn clothes who bore,loved and cared for you as many lay in streets,bottles and in graveyards...murdered and abandoned. once again,remember to thank the Lord for the family that nags and shouts ever so frequently...trying to lead you not astray while their clothes are stripped off by their uncles.grandfathers,brothers and even fathers, their backs are shredded by never ending lashes...the brutality of a parent,betrayal of relatives...the greed for money that ends the life of a six year old...programming her professionally for an exploited,drugged prostituted life So next time you feel your life a mess,your hair a tangle and shoes wasted and old next time you think you are poor and will be bitter about it just remember to thank the lord for you are blessed and they are yet to be saved!!

A poem to remember to take joy in the little things and sometimes to just be thankful. I believe we all need a bit of a reminder. Thank you!
