In Periods of Misfortunes

In periods of misfortunes Man on his knees God implores for his suffering to confine 

When prosperity comes and all goes fine Man seldom remembers to thank the divine

We have to be thankful of the things we receive my dear friend, Arturo especially after having prayed for it! Thank you so much for your dear comment!

Absolutely right dear Demetrios, and it is mentioned in our holy verse (Quoran).. that's why Man should always be aware of their deeds and behaviours.. Nothing should be taken for granted! Patience, tolerance, understanding.. are to be at the core of our relation with the complexities of life.. Showing recognition and gratitude the least we can do to attain God's Grace and Mercy.. Insightful as always dear Demetrios! A pleasure and a source of light and love is your poetry. Be blessed.

God is one, no matter by how many names He is called by Man and we are all His children subjects to His holy law! Thank you so very much for this gracious comment, Besma! I do appreciate it enormously! Be blessed! I just found out you are back!

You said it my friend..humans are not always grateful when prayers are answered.

Unfortunately, my dear friend, Vijay, this is the case! Some people do not show the necessary gratitude ! God bless you!

Another of mans failings Demetrios. Cries out for help but slow to show gratitude. Tom

That is my complain my dear friend, Tom! We should be more grateful for our Lord's help! Thank you!
