Follow Up - Re: Seeking your prayers!

By the grace of almighty Allah, my daughter’s surgery was a successful one. Her tonsils were also removed.

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement, prayers and emotional support - it means more than you know.

Please continue to keep Subaat in your prayers as she continues to recuperate and please pray for all those who are hurting and are sick and especially those who have no one to pray for them.

Sincerely,

Shahzada Imran
Lecturer, SOB

An Amazing Poem!

I have come across a beautiful piece of poetry recently that I want to share with you. The author is Red Foley who is also named as Og Mandino. Hope you would appreciate it and realize the powerful message it conveys. Enjoy!

Today upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair,
I envied her…She seemed so happy. 
I wished I were as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, a smile.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh God, forgive me when i whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh God, forgive me when i whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.
