Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Rhyme

Finding God

I have to let go of yesterday,
In my hand I have but today,
Who knows what brings tomorrow
A gift of joy or loads of sorrow.

I can have faith in the Lord,
Or fuss and fret and cry aloud,
I can wake up to face the rising sun
to seek the day's blessings or shun.

I have to let go of my petty ego,
For my Lord upon me to bestow
the ethereal light of his good grace,
To enlighten my day, my spirit, my face.

I have to let go of the wordly aspiration
And seek out my path to salvation,
I have to stand in His heavenly presence
And seek my place in His providence.

Toquyen Harrell August 7, 2014 at 2:02 PM There is nothing wrong with worldly aspiration as it only brings God's glory. There is something wrong if that is the only thing one seeks. I like this, Abdul. Sometimes we can't be too humble :) Abdul Malik Mandani August 7, 2014 at 2:48 PM Maybe, you can be 'Materially Spiritual!' Thanks for your comments.
