Appreciate The Little Poem by Gbolagade Taiwo

Appreciate The Little



You asked for rain
I gave you in abundant
Yet you said it's too much for you to have
I heard your complaints
I decided to give you my precious sun
To warm you and your household
Yet you said my sun is too much for you to have
You said I should give you a beautiful wife
I gave you as your wish
Yet you complained about her
I tried all my best to make sure you lack nothing
But you remained wanting
You don't appreciate the little I gave you
Instead, you complained about not been enough or too much
Tell me, can you grow one hair without my power?
You will sleep and wake up the next day
yet you will think it's by your might that you are able to wake
Show some appreciation to your creator
When you have the opportunity to
'cos it might be late for you to do so
Let me ask you
How would you feel
If you bought a pair of shoe for your son with all the money you have in your pocket
You gave it to him and he did not say Thank you?
Will you buy another one for him the next day?
Instead of you to appreciate the little I do for you
You are complaining about not being enough
Learn to say thank you when I give you what you need.
