8. The master

You be the master of your every hour.
God will definitely be the master
Of your every moment on your behalf,
Cheerfully, devotedly
And
Unconditionally.

You be the master of your soulful smile.
God will definitely be the master
Of your heart's excruciating pangs on your behalf,
Smilingly, sleeplessly
And
Unconditionally.
