Don't yell at me,I know! I've despised you time and time again Neglecting your counsels and biddings Just to please others at your expense You don't have to scream at me, I sure know I've looked at you with scorn and contempt When you wanted only to be with me But I chose to be with others than you

I'm aware Even when God called I answered I chose to serve Him in every possible way Even if it means you suffer it in illness

What can actually come between us?nothing! Because you are in me and I in you I've always chosen to be with others why? Because that's where the joy of living lie In a life well spent for others' happiness Just to fulfill the purpose of coming to Earth I've always chosen to cater for others than you why? That the Maker may find us worthy on the last day And invite us to that eternal banquet And we shall have to rejoice and enjoy endlessly For we were among the chosen. But how can I love you alone and not others? For love for you alone is selfishness And care for you alone is greed and avarice Vices that would make us rot in hell How can I be with you alone? Tell me! For being with you alone is loneliness And staying with you alone is idleness The devil's most cherished workshop But nothing is lost , not even dime We can forge on to glory without looking back The future is ours to take, let's grab it Those visions, plans and dreams we ever conceived

Come! Be of good cheer and take my hand let's do it together Let's love and care for others like our lives depended on it Let's gladden our hearts only in seeing others happy That the Maker may find us worthy of his kingdom And invite us to that eternal banquet Yours Faithfully **Michaelo** Lead Image Source https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1434030216411-0b793f4b4173?ixid=MXwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHw%3D&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=750&q=80
