Lost Souls

I got up early one morning,
And rushed night into the day,
I had so much to accomplish,
That I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task,
"Why doesn't Allah help me?" I wondered,
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak,
I wondered why Allah didn't show me,
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into Allah's presence,
I used all my keys at the lock,
Allah gently and lovingly said,
"My child, you didn't knock"

I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day,
I had so much to accomplish,
that I had to take time to pray.
