Revere The Little That You Have Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

I want to be happy
Like the sun that smiles on everyone
l want to be free
Like the river that flows without boundaries
I prayed in our closet
Fasted on holy mountains
For the joy that I have but did not know.

My prayers were answered but
I did not know it
I kept disturbing divinity
For what I could do for myself
I was confused, sad and worried
Gloomed like the darkness of the night.

Until I heard a still voice say
I have answered you
Yet you did not know
Because you wanted more and more
I have granted your heart's desire
But your greed has closed your eyes
Revere the little that you have
And shall have the whole world.
