A Moment Of Doubt Poem by Mamta Agarwal

A Moment Of Doubt

Rating: 4.8


At times I find myself at odds,
And wonder if there is a God
Above watching over us.
To protect us from calamities as such.
When in one moment your loved ones are taken,
Your faith in God is shaken.
You feel bereft, alone, rudderless,
Because of the suddenness
Of the catastrophe so huge,
That there is a never ending deluge
Of tears pouring from the eyes
As you say why me, why me, and cry.

But human spirit is tough.
It is tested when the going is rough.
You first deny, then get angry and cry.
But at the end of it all you try
To accept the inevitable
And make efforts to make your life stable.

Truth is, nothing in life is permanent but change
So said a wise sage.

Change only is permanent... He who gives takes back...and He changes thus...a good poem inviting our attention to this eternal truth

Life is a gift...it does not come with a guarantee. It is up to us to live it wisely and have no regrets. Your poem is a meaningful reminder.

The poem brings out nicely the doubts of the existence of God, a God that should protect but takes away. Death is a reality that is very hard to face, and to find divine benevolence in human suffering is hard for everyone. But the very act of doubting is important for self-growth and tolerance. All the best, Mamta.
