A Wish....Words of God

Say Your Prayers

Oh my child,
I wish the world was like you.
Alas!
They are so different from you.
I just love to see your eyes
when you look at the stars.
Such curiosity,
such craving for the ultimate Reality.
I wish the people had that craving
in their hearts as well as minds.
Alas!
They run after illusions of their minds.
When you pray deep within your soul
your words straight goes to the Alimghty's Door.
And when you cry while you pray
the mighty universe seems in dismay.
What compassion fills your heart
like the rivers fill the sea.
And the waves rise
when you see someone in misery.
I am sorry I can only come at midnight
to see your innocent face deep in sleep,
with my touch I intend to make you wise
to fill your life with love
with the next sunrise.
I read every letter which you keep under your pillow,
in which you ask for love...
and when the next day you see the sun,
you say, "My wish is fullfilled!"
I can only say that I deeply love you...
Oh my child..
I wish the world was like you...
