Met an old friend for breakfast today. We became friends 35 years ago in 1973 on my second posting upon my first promotion and she as a fresh recruit at her first job after graduating from University Malaya. Very fast, we forged a close friendship which lasted until today, although we worked together only for 2 years, after which we went on separate postings in the service.
ORDER OF THINGS
There is a rightful order found
I know this fact through feelings felt
There is a rightful order found
Reminiscing on our past and the trials and challenges we went through in our life, she said to me "Do you remember...when you came to see me sometime in the past, with tears in your eyes...I did not know how to console you...but I did tell you God knows best? See, you are okay now". I told her "Yes...I have been okay for a long time now. Actually God loves me more than I knew". I was smiling, but still had tears in my eyes, and so had she.
ORDER OF THINGS
There is a rightful order found
Beyond the things that seem to be,
Something beneath the surface seen
Hidden behind prevalent schemes.
I know this fact through feelings felt
in such relief that come to mind,
When in life I do my bit
And leave results to Spirit's will.
There is a rightful order found
In which Spirit our lives arrange,
Giving us what we rightly earn
With precision in circumstance,
Designed to rhyme and meet somehow
In a rightful order, time, and place.
