Oh God! Where Are You Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Oh God! Where Are You

Rating: 5.0


Oh God where are you?
I am here,
standing on the gates of my house,
I have to lodge a complaint against my grandfather,
I broke his eye glasses,
And, today, he brought candies and chocolates
for my brother and sisters,
but not for me!
He didn't forgive me!
I swear I saw him once in strife with my grandmother,
he was too angry,
he broke a cup of tea,
and a plate of snacks,
promise me you will not forgive him.
And god disguised himself,
a woman came from inside house,
whispered in the ears of child,
your grandfather has forgiven you,
for you he has brought double of that
what he brought for your brother
and your sisters,
I know where he has kept the packet for you,
at the moment he is sleeping,
come and take it from there,
it's not stealing as it is kept for you,
and the child came silently and slowly like a cat
opened the drawers without any sound
took the packet and went out of the room.
The old man with a side glance,
watched the granddaughter,
and her grandmother,
smiled and really slept.

Forgiveness is often more beneficial for the forgiver than the forgiven

Lovely anecdote involving grandfather and grand daughter translated into a beautiful poem. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing. I quote a few lines from where the tiff resolved: The old man with a side glance, watched the granddaughter, smiled and really slept.
