Got in email… just passing it along
New Page 2**POEM**
**I knelt to pray but not for
long,
****I had too much to
do.
****I had to hurry and
get to work
****For bills would soon
be due.
****So I knelt and said
a hurried prayer,
****And jumped up off my
knees.
****My Muslim duty was
now done
****My soul could rest
at ease.
****All day long I had
no time
****To spread a word of
cheer.
****No time to speak of
Allah to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.
****No time, no time,
too much to do,
****That was my constant
cry,
****No time to give to
souls in need
****But at last the
time, the time to die.
****I went before the
Lord,
****I came, I stood with
downcast eyes.
****For in his hands God
held a book;
****It was the book of
life.
****God looked into his
book and said
****Your name I cannot
find.
****I once was going to
write it down…
But never found the
time"
Now do you have the time to pass it
on?**
