GOD KNOWS BEST
Husky night,
Men gather at mosque,
Along with some worshippers.
All rush in,
Congregation time,
Lines are formed and verses read.
A cat sleeps,
Peacefully outside,
Alms-seekers converge there.
I smoke on,
Fag after fag comes,
As the prayer time goes by.
God knows best,
Knows who loves Him more,
Those inside or those outside.
I couldn't agree with you more! bravo to your words. God knows the hearts and souls of men. He knows who really loves him and how deep. I have never believed that only heaven waits for those who congregate! We can stop and pray anywhere and be with God we don't have to be in some man made house of prayer, those who need that to me that is fine for them but if they don't feel they need to be there and can be with God in a meaningful way even while pushing a grocery cart around the supermarket then let them be. as you said he knows HE KNOWS everything even what they plot in their evil little hearts as they chant their prayers! That's the beauty of the here after everything that is hidden from the world will be exposed there. one more thing I love to share this with everyone who touches me with their actions deeds or words remember one of the best things we can do is allow God to love others through us. thank you so much for sharing Muhammad
your poem lit yet another candle of joy in my soul. I bookemarked your web page I will read more and give you feed back. I love discovering other lights from God
keep on writing for poems are like breaths expelled from the soul! so very sincerely Melissa Lundeen
