The Light Of My Life



The path I trot is not a anew,
Endless times I walked, not few.

Tis hard to understand the science,
Behind the jingles of windy chimes.

Right at the nick of time, when I met You,
All my doubts vanished, without a clue.

I found the light that lit within,
That shatters the darkness from deep in.

I thank You, O Master! For holding me strong,
When things fall apart, making everything wrong.

Now, the only wish that makes me live.
Is shelter at Your lotus feet.
