sins are many <br />as stars of sky <br />as sand of shore <br /> <br />but I know for sure <br />Your Gate of Mercy <br />is much bigger, wider <br /> <br />I pray to You <br />as I was told to be <br />slowly, humbly, quietly <br /> <br />if You refuse me <br />who might be <br />bless me <br /> <br />if good persons <br />who can pray to You <br />to whom bad ones beg <br /> <br />I have nothing <br />just a last prayer <br />to ask for Your shelter <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Ravi A)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-prayer-2/
