I already have what I could have asked for,
Why should I then knock at God’s door for more?
My blessings I already can not count,
Why then the runaway horse of desire should I mount?
Why should I grumble and whine
When all I could have dreamt of is already mine?
Why should a sense of inadequacy me plague
Why should I be in my thanksgiving tentative and vague?
When in every nook and cranny of my life I can see God’s grace,
Why then should i the banner of discontent raise?
Why then shouldn’t I be dancing with joy
Like a child does on getting his favourite toy?
Why shouldn’t my mind be at rest
When I have seen my life climbing from better to best?
When I should know that gratitude is all,
Why into the abyss of thanklessness do I ever fall?
Is it because we are too human to pass God’s litmus test
That even while sitting atop a mountain of blessings we can not rest?

Right sir !! We are human and we become so greedy sometimes. But we should thank God for giving so much but instead of that we want more and more and more …
