Mercy Taken For Granted, Without Appreciation Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Mercy Taken For Granted, Without Appreciation
I walk on my feet
And go wherever I wish to go.
Breathe in fresh air as much as I want,
And breathe out without any discomfort.
I listen to my favourite music and songs
Whenever I want to,
And write poems whenever my heart
Has something to say in silence.
I've never paused for a while
To appreciate how easily I've done these!
Never realized that to many of us
These favors are not available as easily!
Oh God! To Thee I prostrate in gratitude
For all these favors granted so mercifully!
Guide me Oh God, on the right path,
And despise me not if and when I err.

A beautiful prayer coming from the heart! Many of the blessings that come to us are taken for granted! How many there are in the world who are denied such blessings! When we have eyes, we never care to think of the blessings of sight! We are all poets.... people blessed with a rare gift! But are we grateful to God? We can only pray that God shouldn't punish us for our ingratitude as you pray at the end!
Dear Valsa, these are exactly the thoughts that were in my head when I wrote this poem. Thanks for summarizing my poem. Much inspired by your comment.
By luck of the draw, some are born into good situations and many into situations so dire we can't begin to even imagine. Few in the former, truly appreciate the luck they have.
Thank you, Kelly Kurt, for sharing your wonderful thoughts. I couldn't agree more!
