I see your picture Lord
With a sacred heart
Surrounded by
The stations of the Cross
I weep, I ask –
“Where do these thoughts come from?
These inspirations and ideas and
Answer myself, from all I've learnt.
I am confused Lord, I do not know
What I do is right or wrong
I was born in your fold
Brought up in true Christian faith
My father a preacher and mother
Never lagged behind to fast and pray
Still, yet from a tender age
You have let me be influenced
By another other than Thee
I write poetry on a God other than Thee
“God, is God a concept
A figment of our mind? ”
A rose remains a rose
By whatever name it is called
Its fragrance doesn’t change
With each and every call
Then God aren’t you God
When I call you by any name
Jesus, Allah, Narayana…
Or don’t you bloom
Even if I do not call!
God will be God
He will always love and bless
The rain and sun
Falls equally on all men
Whether believer or atheist
We are all his children
And brothers in this world [earth]
Which he has given to us
To love, to cherish and to share!
there need'nt be any guilt...the latest god we have is christ...his teachings seems closest to life....hindu myths are very old...even the war was glorified in them...to me also god is god.....ALL religions have become institutions...the simple god they have lost...a lovely write
A rose remains a rose By whatever name it is called Its fragrance doesn’t change With each and every call Then God aren’t you God When I call you by any name Jesus, Allah, Narayana… Best words from a matured heart...well said Angelina

a beautiful summation of all the intracacies of faith from the doubt to the ardent belief and hope instilled by our Creator....who has never let mankind really pin Him down, , , as is the essence of 'faith'
