“SHATTERED DREAMS”
- Shattered
dreams do not mean all is lost
- For Almighty God paid the cost,
- Depraved man, I was you see
- But He carried His Cross for me
-
- No
longer am I a reprobate
- His Blood for me opened Heaven’s Gate,
- As lost as you think you may be!
- His Stripes will set you free
-
- Even
through tear filled eyes
- I know longer ask the question why!
- Unseen Angels and precious memories
- Remind me of His unending Mercies
-
- The
Lord, Please have Thine own way
- Lead me Lord along the way,
- Forever live in this heart of mine
- For Your Spirit is mysteriously Divine!

This poem,
written today November 25th 2007 is a
bitter-sweet day for me. Today is exactly thirty years since
the inception of my own business, that helped me to move my
family from very difficult living conditions to a very
comfortable life, and for that I am thankful to God with all
my heart. However, my four children for which I was always
their [ Baghban ] – Caretaker from their youth into their
adulthood, over the past several years they have chosen to
remove me from their lives.

This is
difficult for any parent and I am no different from any
other parent who, love their children and never found it
difficult to go without so they can have, to abridge my own
future to ensure their safety and future, who would not
mention to them of my own unhappiness so that they would not
become unhappy. I could not find the words to express my
feelings of hurt and I was only able to sum-up how I feel
subsequent to the writing of the poem in the following
stanza:
-
- “Though I am wounded and hurting
- Jesus is still bleeding,
- And in His presence now
- Humbly I bow.”
