Text Box: MY GOD

You care for me the way I don't,
You go with me to where I won't,
You let me have what's good for me,
The troubles I bring, You make them flee,
I doze and sleep, You are fully awake,
My heart's solace, From You I take.
I ask "A little of  food, O please",
You give me bread and butter and cheese,
How kind you are I cannot tell,
You give me things, You do not sell.
The rain is free and free is sunshine.
And all the air that I need is mine,
I run on land and sail on sea,
I look to moon, for, there I'll be
O my God, My loving God,
The way the righteous people trod,
Let me tread that beautiful way,
Let piety make me jolly and gay,
You take my heart and soul and keep,
You throw me up, or down so deep,
I do not mind what happens to me,
If only once Your face I could see.

Munir Ahmad Azim
