God's boon

[Prasanthi]

Boon from God.

One evening, I went to temple
along with my mother
to listen to preaches on God.
What I understood is,
God will visible
to those who wholeheartedly pray
God will answer
to those who determinedly question
God who is the Lord-Master
will become the servant
and work for the tenant
HE grants the boon
as possible as soon.


I, who have many a wish
decided to pray
to be granted with a boon.
For me,a girl of fertile imagination,
who have many a fascination,
God descended.
"My child,I can only grant you one.
so think on your own."

What to ask HIM?
Should I ask personal related
or about the family,or
to bring equality in the society,
to bring equal rights for woman,
or to wish for world peace
where the arms race cease.
to wish for the world
where woman can be respected
to wish for the world free of diseases,
to wish for good feelings in people
where everyone treats himself as
a world citizen and human.
My thoughts flow incessantly
while God is watching patiently.

For some time HE kept quite
to let me think in quiet.
For my difficulty to decide,
God laughed and said,
" Dear, Shall I grant you the best?"
I nodded my head feeling rest.
"I will provide you work
which you can love to do,
to which you can gladly ado.
which can enable you to get rid
of these thoughts and puts you in action
so that you can achieve the above
atleast in fraction and this is the sanction."
