I wanted to write a poem
Wanted to tell a tale
But knew not how to rhyme
No words I could avail
I looked towards the sky
Said a heart felt prayer
God said: ‘Open your eye
And see my creations rare’
I thanked and looked around
To feel the flowing waters
To read the blowing wind
To see the mist and mounts
The bright beauteous flowers
The sweet swimming fish
The cute flying birds
Grass so green and lush
The starlets and the moon
That glitter in the sky
Oh God! These are Thy boon
The morn and milky rays
All these I can see
All things I can feel
On all I can write
And sing songs with zeal
All these seem to sing
Songs my heart unheard,
Words so muse so long,
That make my mind revered
A poet and his heart
Can never rest or sleep
Oh God! Thanks a lot
Thy wealth, a precious heap!
