When God Decides Poem by shirani ibrahim

Looking back

When God Decides..

I could write an entire novel about the journey of my life,

The stumbling moments the good and bad about life's strife,

The many thoughts the words, the dreams, painted joyfully.

These chapters in my life are now just a distant memory.

Strangely the feelings of yesterday, are so dimmed today.

With pools of confusion that came in its own jerky way.

The story began with an awesome musical melody.

Stimulating with variations to end in a perfect harmony,

The trials the turbulent in life was quite a task to survive.

Loving words, tender care was of great help to keep alive.

Often wondered if I could alter these unchangeable facts,

That complicated life due to the many foolish hasty acts.

From the luxurious green, we call the earthly paradise,

We flew to the land of plenty, hoping for a pleasant surprise.

Enjoying the endless sand dunes, breathing the desert air

I travelled few places, seen wonders and a some I did care.

Then destiny smiles gently and carefully lends a hand.

I find myself surprisingly in the white winter wonderland.

Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger were my favourite cowboys. love them so

Maybe soon into JFK to walk the roads they trod, oh so long ago!

The sweetness of life the gentle fragrance of devoted love,

Is a blessing from God Almighty from the heavens above!
