“God is so generous, God is so kind”

If I will die today
With peace in my heart
Real contentment and happiness
You can read in my eyes

 
We are blessed with parents
Six of us who are so fortunate
Devoid of material pleasures
Richly showered with parental love

 I went to school to learn
Far and long I have to walk
Wearing old pants and shirts
No books, no projects, no food for recess

 Got a lot of annoying insults
From males and opposite sex classmates
I reaped honors and accolade
To wear proud smiles to my parents’ lips

Witnessed my eldest brothers’ pain
As he slowly lost his sight
Fail me in my CPA board exam, I say to God
Just restore my dear brothers’ eye sights

 Nearly each day I went to church
My pledge will stay I prayed; I say to God
Forgive me; I have the desire to pass
My Heart confused, my head aches a lot

Come judgment day, so surprised I was
Brothers’ eye sights improved a lot
I passed the board though not so high
God indeed is so generous and kind

 Look for a job for the first time
Going home riding in a bus
Feel like flying not high on drugs
So easily I got hired

Chosen chess and bowling
As my leisure and sports
Win or lost
I gained some friends

Married my college sweetheart
Blessed with two kids
Both healthy and normal
 God is so generous, God is so kind

My life is colorful, not complex
Adorned with simplicity attuned to reality
Wealth so sufficient to meet both ends
Life filled with love and happiness not agony

Yes, if I will die today
And you desire to open my heart
It is filled with abundant love and thanks
For our God who is so generous and kind.
