Blessing Personified
Sridevi Baleevada 1980 (Hyderabad)
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.
