The Difference Poem by Aditya Pratap Nayak

The Difference

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray

Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier came each task
“Why doesn’t God help me? ” I wondered
“You didn’t ask me! ” ; He answered...

I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on, grey and bleak
I wondered why didn’t show me!
He said, “But, you did not seek”

I tried to come into Gods presence
I used all my keys at the lock
God gently and lovingly chided
My child, “You didn’t knock”

I woke up early in this morning
And paused before entering the day
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray
