Be content with what you have.
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #119‘.
Good morning Friends,
God, let me be content with what you give,
Rather than to always run after a mirage,
I am born a commoner and I must live,
Without dreaming of the riches and the Taj.
You’ve given me things the others don’t own,
Why should I crave for their possessions?
You are always with me, I am never alone,
You have granted me unasked for concessions.
Hence, let me never fall into the trap,
Of coveting things not meant for me;
Between my desires and your will let there be no gap,
From greed and discontent always set me free.
You always listen to the contrite heart,
Grant me, God, modesty and humility,
Let today and my everyday forever start,
With gratefulness, joy and tranquility.
I know from you, my God, my Maker,
The true value of the ‘riches’ you’ve given;
Let me be a giver not just a taker,
Who is in consideration of others driven.
As I find you, God, good and kind,
Let others too find me like that;
Let me never to others needs be blind,
Or feed on others like a rat.
Forever grateful, forever content.
