I Don't
Pray To God
A friend asked me if I pray
to God!
Should I pray to Him?
I said “I don’ Pray to Him”!
Who prays to their Father?
The Lovely Father who takes care of everything?
Oh! My Lord! I don’t Pray to You!
When I was in deep distress
You were with me! I felt you
Holding my hands! Keeping me together!!
When I was young and at all play
When I was in school with no play
All work and only work!
Still, you were with me!
Holding my hands and
Keeping me happy and progressive!!
When I lost my dad and the world
Looked gloomy and when I hated the world
For no reason, and for no fault!
You were with me and I felt that!!
Though I couldn’t see you!!
When I achieved some thing!
When I bought a car or a bike!
You patted me on my back!
And I could feel that Though I couldn’t see you!!
I still feel the lovely pat you gave me
When I stood apart with my chest
Broad open with courage and with
Confidence and with a belief!
With a firm belief in Thee!!
Oh My Lord!! I love thee!
More than I loved anybody!!
Take everything from me!
My car, my Masters Degrees!
My computers and my money!!
But, just let me kiss that gentle
Hand which was on my head
When I was in sorrow and in deep agony!
Just let me kiss that lotus feet
Which led me the path to sincerity!
Just Allow me touch your feet
And clean that Lovely feet
With my tears and and with my
Love! To you!! Oh My Lord!
I don’t pray to Thee!! But !
Love Thee!! Than I loved anybody else!!!!
