Pondering Over...... Poem by Mahfooz Ali

In the quiet of the evening,

When I ponder and reflect,

On the choices of the day I made.

And what of the effect,

Did I listen to the spirit?

And help someone indeed?

Did I show a little kindness

To a gentle puppy in need?

When the need to help was there,

Did I think only selfishly?

To pass by the one whom I could serve

And miss the blessing that could be?

Or can I help in any way?

To lighten someone's load,

To follow our savior's example,


In the quiet of the morning,

As I ponder and reflect,

On what it is I will do today

To serve with love and respect....
