For prodding the mind often
to remind my lips
to speak forth Your praise;
I thank You, Lord.
For navigating my hands
to perform Your bidding
even when I feel lonely,
downtrodden, hopeless
and weighed down;
Alhamdulillah.
For guiding my feet
to swiftly run in Your ways
when I have been abused
and my dreams have been shattered;
Bhagavaan ko dhanyavaad
भगवान को धन्यवाद दिया.
For urging my maimed, crying heart
to beat heartily, to rise again
and to show the rest of its best
even when it has been battered,
numbed, hurt, and scarred;
Ninakushukuru Mola.
For opening my eyes
to watch out for my mind
and to see You only
even when all seems gloomy, chaotic,
impossible, impartial, broken, and unfair;
Ũrokumio Mũrungu.
For never letting me down;
for being my Shepherd
through the great times;
and through the troubled, dark,
tumultuous and turbulent times
despite my inadequacies, anxieties,
doubts, and weaknesses.
I thank You, Lord.
