Be Grateful To the Lord Almighty
When there is chaos all around suffocating
You have in your kindness kept me secure
I have no justification at all to fret and fume
I cannot but be grateful to you; my dear Lord.
When millions of masses are undernourished
You the compassionate one have granted me
With a square meal for self and my household
I cannot but be grateful to you my dear Lord.
When I find my fellow beings in torn clothes
Fending themselves from vagaries of nature
You have provided me with enough apparel
I cannot but be grateful to you; my dear Lord.
There are thousands with no proper shelter
To protect themselves from rain and wind
You have given me a cosy roof over my head
I cannot but be grateful to you; my dear Lord.
When I am aware of awful suffering around
And my comfort zone with your benign mercy
I feel ashamed of my silly protests against you
Please forgive me my Lord, I am grateful; ever.
