and witness a crowd at the foyer
chatting happily
about the sermons and families
mutual friends and work places
with animation and direction
on their facial expression
Then I gaze out of the glass window
at the public place I glimpse a throng
—a sea of expressionless faces
their eyes glue on the screens
of the iPads and smartphones
even children babysitted by computer games
there is little interaction or meeting of minds
Silently I reflect on the group that I belong
which shows a great contrast
to those outside
laughters and joys
purpose and meaning characterise
those converging and gathering
at the meeting place
I once belonged to the outside group
but now I have found my place
at the inside
and realise that this is the sunny side
of hope and destiny
which I have been yearning
and longing since young
Help me O Lord
to be a catalyst
to the bright side
through my behaviour
and belief
May my life
be a trajectory to the outsiders or seekers

Thought: What happens when Christians get drawn into the ipads and computers?
Red Ink: This part: "that I belong..." could be reworded to "to which I belong"
Well done,
