The Reflection In the Mirror Smiled Back With Reassuring Nod

Counting your
good deeds
Is not
advisable thing to do.
What you gave
with the right hand
The left
should never know.
Adding up all
the bad feelings,
Voice you
should not heed.
It will only
eat you up inside
Worse, it makes you disconcerted.
Expect not
who you helped are grateful,
Never think
of that for it makes you apprehensive.
You are
better off considering the loan as gift
And best to
zero it out in your head.
Notice not
your shoulder's burden
That weight
will soon be lighter.
Your heavy
yoke will be lifted,
Your faith in
God will not wander.
Helping those
that can not help you in return,
Is generosity
of the highest degree.
The time you
gave is worthwhile spent,
When you open
your heart freely with glee.
Mind not the
turbulence you now felt
That, too, is
temporary, vanish it one day will.
Hold on tight
for it will swiftly pass,
Until peace,
quite and calm prevail.
Life's
struggles constantly reviewed,
Looking back
bewildered but enlightened.
Learning from
your laborious past
Not bitter
nor fretful but content.
Have you ever
looked at yourself in the mirror?
Counting all
the lines now permanently etched,
The
reflection smiled back with reassuring nod
Peaceful, delightfully pleasing and blessed.
