Gratitude

Oh Allah, I thank you for the ability to be patient in my circumstance
when others are unconcerned
Oh Allah, I thank you for the wisdom to know better
when others show thoughtlessness
Oh Allah, I thank you for the little disabilities
which help me to understand others' inabilities
Oh Allah, I thank you for the small heartaches
when compared to others' greater disappointments
Oh Allah, I thank you for the courage to persevere
when others' make things more difficult
Oh Allah, I thank you for supporting me
when others' have let me go
Oh Allah, I thank you for the umbrella which shelters me from the rains
when others' don't care how wet I get
Oh Allah, I thank you for the use of one leg even when the other gets tired each day I go up many stairs
and others' only ask me if I am alright
Oh Allah, I thank you for revealing secrets so I know better next time
when others' promises are broken
Oh Allah, I thank you for hard times which increase me with knowledge
To survive every day
Oh Allah, I thank you for the tools and knowledge which I use each day
Oh Allah, for every good there is an "un-good"
Oh Allah, for every positive there is a negative
Oh Allah, for every yin there is a yang
Make me balanced in and out of my day and night,
Through my life;
In my future that I shall become
The balanced person equipped with strength, knowledge, wisdom, courage and fortitude to be a role model for those less fortunate than myself
For the sake of unconditional love for humankind.
