The Blind Beggar

by Jyoti Prakash Sahoo

In front of a temple,
a beggar who was blind and feeble,
his prayers were deplorable.

One morning ,
A young msn passed by ,
and heard a loud cry,
"Oh babu, please give me alms,
I pray God to full wealth in your palms."

The young man turn around ,
to see who is calling,
and found a blind beggar sitting.

"How could you see me from behind?,
though you're blind", asked the younker.
"God's hand is on my head,
till I am dead", answered the beggar.

Hearing to the beggar's voice ,
the kind young man was delighted,
and gave the beggar two coins,
without making him disheartened.

The beggar prayed mentally,
"This man's luck is in your hand, Oh God,
in midst of your work,
take care of this bud."
