That One Second

Most precious gift from Allah is my Life...
Beautifully coated,tremendously decorated... 
As a flower Blossoms...
As sun rises after Dark...
As brave as Lion...
.
But 
Then...A horrible Second came...
That un-coated my gift...
Snatched the beauty of flower...
Turned "sunlight" into very Dark night...
Frightened the brave lion even
.
My thoughts,dreams flew away...
Frightened,Dishevelled i was...
Tried hard to get out but all in vain...
All was done by that horrible second

Then...Another beautiful second came
...It made the flower to smile again...
Showed light in Dark even...
Helped the lion to step forward into kingdom again...
.
That's why this gift is rare...
Everything changes within a moment...
From rose to throne and back to rose again...
Teaches me to live and shine again..:-)

When we believe in GOD and never doubt no terrible seconds are coming! Only when our belief is shaken then terrible seconds may come! Stay steadfast to your GOD and HE never will let you down ! Excellent thoughts dear Saba!
