GOD’S INFINITE BLESSINGS
- (Vanaja Ravi Nair, 2005)
Blessed are we
As we can SEE!
The blooming flower,
The vast blue sky;
In multi colour
The birds that fly!
The trees and rivers,
And peacocks' dance!
All vivid colours
At once, in a glance!
Blessed are we,
To have a NOSE!
With which we breathe,
And smell a rose!
Incomplete is taste,
Without smell!
'Coz its linked -
Both taste and smell!
Blessed are we,
As we can HEAR!
Not mere a stand - our EAR,
For the spectacles we wear!
Unless we hear,
Can't learn to talk;
Though, we fools, waste
Time, in idle talk!
Hear those music,
Divine and rare;
Oh! without music,
Life is how barren n bare!
Blessed are we,
With SKIN to touch!
And feel the texture
As soft as much!
Feel the wind
With skin, we’re aware!
Think of the bind,
That skin do cover!
Oh! How terrible
Imagine, it would be,
If our vital organs
Kept without skin!
Blessed are we
As we can SPEAK!
Of love, to pacify
Hearts wearied!
Sad indeed
To see a dumb,
Striving to express
His pain in vain!
Blessed are we
We can CHANT MANTRAS!
Let us do it for
Those who can't.
Blessed are we
To have HANDS two!
Place them together
And pray forever!
Hands can help
To work and serve
Help ourselves,
And unfortunates, too.
Blessed are we
As we can SMILE & LAUGH;
But for plants, birds,
And animals, can't!
Blessed are we,
To have AIR around!
With God’s Grace,
Without any bound!
No tax or price,
No grade at all!
All can breathe
Free of charge!
Blessed are we,
As God made PLANTS,
TREES, on earth,
To have her beautified!
They do play
A major role,
To keep what we breathe
Very much purified!
Yet we cut them
Without least mercy!
They donate their wood
Throbs with Divine Life
With much courtesy!
Blessed are we
With PARENTS too!
When we err -
They guide us through!
They've no choice
Of their own,
To pick up a Best Child
Of their choice!
Yet they ever shower
Unconditional love,
To make their children
Stand Best in all!
Blessed am I even,
To have this PEN!
His Blessings flow
Through these words n lines!
Just penning down
These, for you all,
So that you can
Pass it on!
Endowed with much
Abilities at birth,
We take it for granted,
Not knowing its worth!
Blessed are we
Indeed a lot,
Of ENDLESS GIFTS,
God showers upon!
Think of all those
Things we have,
To live in peace
With all around!
See the way
He made us all,
Inner organs in tact,
And even compact,
So sophisticated,
This body of ours,
Far far beyond,
Our imagination!
His Gifts are Unique,
All in whole!
Nothing to be added,
Nor they lacked!
He cares for us
All day and night.
Since womb to tomb
From out of sight!
Praise HIM ever
With wholesome Heart,
And Realize Him
In your Heart!
