Abundance

If I ever feel jaded and slow on some days
Praying to the Almighty always pays
A sense of wonder at his beautiful creation
A world full of wonder and beautiful features

The floating clouds teach me the art of freedom
To be pure and light hearted like a beacon
The sunset teaches the tale of certainty
For every morning the Sun rises to certainty

The flowers teach the art of beauty
Imparting fragrance to one and all on a call of duty
Giving joy even to the hands who crush it
Creating an aura of happiness bit by bit

The river teaches the joy of enthusiasm
To overcome challenges and deep chasms
With so much beauty of abundance in nature
Man is indeed a loved and blessed creature

Closed Doors

When the fury of life came hopping in
Making me wonder if I had committed a sin
When unexpected circumstances closed doors
You sent angels so that I could still score

Through unexpected gestures I saw your grace
Reminding me of God's presence amidst the maze
You happily resurrected my lost smile
Making me walk longer, many miles

Your angels were sent to enlighten the mind
Even as I wondered what a find
They took away the pain or two
And brought cascades of happiness too

Dear God when a door closes
You stand invisible but firmly posed
The beauty of your benevolence won my heart
Now faith stays parked and shall never depart
