Self

Self

Many roads I may have taken
Yet I move to nowhere
But here I am enshrined until death
Within this body this self shall stay.
Irrespective of illness and health
This place is a paradise called home
For without this you the Great Lord
Would remain totally oblivious to me, the self.

To every nook and corner
My journey may have taken me to,
But never was I ever removed
from this pedestal where I sit
Silently witnessing the play of my senses.
Allow me the greater leap, my lord
The embodiment of endless compassion.

Allow me once my lord
Let me break away from this shell
So, permanently I shall be seated within you,

Sonnet: My Gem of Faith

Sonnet: My Gem of Faith

God placed a priceless gem within my heart-
‘My faith in Jesus Christ,’ is what ’tis called;
I’ll carry it with me till I depart,
And keep it from the devils safely walled!

Oh, what a wonderful God, I have known!
-The God of boundless love who made us all,
With soul and form in His image like own,
Protecting us from every earthly fall.

My joy of being Christian is too great;
Christ beckons me to walk behind His cross;
With Him, I’m sure to reach the Heaven’s gate;
My Savior is my only earthly boss.

My gem of faith is sealed within my heart;
Whatev’r come may, I will not ever part.
