Blessing Personified



If only you were a soul on earth

I would have loved to hold hands

And sway to the tunes of the rhythm of your breath.

But you are a divine ray of light…

Cast on the harvest of a farm;

On the smiles of the parents of a newborn;

In the swirls of the happily dancing bride;

In a fruit of the seed that struggled through the toiled soil…

You, my love, are a ray of bliss and hope.

So, rain on me….drench me down

And give my withered smile a new lease.
