Disguise

Gearing up in my work attire

I am ready to meet my regular clientele

I decided to feed my daughter

To save time as well

But fate was bent on getting me delayed

At every step I took today

First I had to change my outfit irritated

As my daughter thought feeding my dress was okay

When I almost to my car I encountered another snag

Had to change my broken shoe to my utter dismay

As I started my car, I realized another unfortunate drag

My car needed fuel before I took her to the highway

That luck will change, my mind I consoled

Wishing no holdup would come and go

That’s when I saw an accident colossal

This must have occurred just few minutes ago

As I darted towards my workplace

With my head all huffed and puffed from being late

As I rushed in feeling out of breath

To my surprise, I found the client too was late

That’s when I learned

That my client whom I had to meet

Was hurt in the collision that I had witnessed

And now it is impossible for me to meet

Now, as I ponder on these events of the day

Blessings in disguise were these delays

I too could have been the one hurt today

 If not for all those delays that came my way.

There is always something good in store when things go wrong

Which one does not realize or see when something goes wrong

In reality it is Almighty’s way of saving us from something worse

But we only keep complaining, never realizing things could have been even worse.
