O circumstances! <br />Don't try me to prevent, <br />I wish my life to be spent, <br />Or wish to be bent, <br />Before my Maker. <br /> <br />Let me walk, <br />Or with liberty sing, <br />Or fly without wing, <br />Or let my heart wring. <br />Before my Maker. <br /> <br />O circumstances! <br />Let me drink my tear, <br />Or the miseries bear, <br />Or to tremble with fear, <br />Before my Maker.<br /><br />Ahatisham Alam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-my-maker/
