A Prayer to God

I lift up my head towards the sky

The heaven and the earth behold me sigh

My lips are moving in a silent prayer

My eyes are closed, I am standing there

"Oh God" I pray,

"Grant me a boon that I may

Not hurt a single being

Or destroy even a little thing

May I be loved by all

And may I hear each distressed call

May I do everyone good

And may I never ever be rude

May I help all the needy souls

And may I reach all my goals"

With this I lower my eyes upon the earth

I feel contended with my new birth

I can hear God whispering slowly

"And Lo! my child, I forgive your folly"
