Before We Complain

Tinggal 2 hari lebaran neh, si bibi ama si mbak udah pulang kampung my baby jadi gak ada yang ngurusin (maminya masih ngantor bo) udah import nyokap mertua, tapi akhirnya semua orang tetep gak ada yang bisa istirahat, ya udah akhirnya Gaby terpaksa deh dititipin ke rumah mertua, nyokap kan lebih nyaman momong Gabydi rumahnya sendiri. Baru sehari sih dah kangen berat ma Gaby hik :(
Udah gitu semalem pulang kerja, rumah masih kotor banget cucian numpuk banyak, duuh tambah pusing jadinya kangen juga ama si bibi yang selalu membuat semuanya beres.
Baru ngerasain neh susahnya jadi House wife merangkap career woman.
So pas gw baca ulang puisi ini...kayaknya kena banget deh..

BEFORE….WE COMPLAIN


Today before you think of saying an unkind word 
Think of someone who cant speak 
Before you complain about the taste of your food 
T
hink of someone who has nothing to eat 
 

Before you complain about your husband or wife 
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion 
Today before you complain about life 
Think of someone who went too early to heaven 
 
Before you complain about your children 
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren 
Before you argue about your dirty house someone  didn't clean or sweep 
Think of the people who are living in the streets 
 
Before whining about the distance you drive 
T
hink of someone who walks the same distance with their feet 
And when  you are tired and complain about your job 
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who  wished they had your job 
 
When you want to complain about the rules of Christianity 
Think about how'd it be to burn in hell for eternity 
Before you complain about those you are around 
Think of someone who has no one who are lonely and down 
 
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another 
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker 
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down 
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around 
 
Life is a gift 
Live it... 
Enjoy it... 
Celebrate it... 
And fulfill it. 
 
And while you are at it give love to someone today 
Love someone with what you do and the words you say 
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden 
So give it away 
 
God is love 
Give Love to someone today!
