Missed Appointments

Found this poem (here)..a timely  reminder to me....

*****************

YOU show more concern for me than any doctor, I must say

Cos You want to see me so many times in just one day

Afterall – it’s You who looks after the health of the soul

Something that the most learned specialist in the world can only ever dream to control

I spiff up in my best for every job interview

So why procrastinate to purify myself for my meeting with You

Afterall – they are interviews into Jannah, true?

What about meeting the queen or a celebrity singing tween?

Definitley count me in!

I can go to a pro to sort out the stuff I don’t like about me :

* Personal Trainer

* Beautician

* Dietician

* Debt Councillor

* Even a Shrink

…At a nominal fee

Every cent worth it … really?

But

Why is it so difficult for me to pour out all my

~ sorrows,

~ pains,

~ dreams

and

~ hopes to You

Afterall – it is for free?

And

Should I happen to miss

* a train,

* plane,

* party,

* an appointment,

* movie date

How would I feel?

Definitely more than a smidge irate,

Miss a fixed appointment with You?

With a set time, date, place?

What a disgrace!

Forgive me for standing You up so many times!

Surely this must be the worst of crimes

Considering it’s me that needs You

even though sometimes I am so short sighted this I can’t even see

By now even my own blood would have given up on me

But

You just keep bestowing blessings on me!

Ya Ghafuru,

Please hold on to me!
