My Father In Heaven Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Today is the dawn of a new beginning
I choose to follow another path
both my parents have pass on yet there love
continue to exist in my heart
to surrender the desire of the senses
in seclusion i sit like a sage
that to correct the mistakes of my past
upon the future i keep my mind engage

to lift the curtain over my eyes
i will be able to change fear into faith
like the clouds in heaven
i shall have strength to move on my own weight
the trauma and pain i experience
will lead me to find enlightenment of the truth
the thirst for knowledge in the twilight
keeps me awake like the bees
that takes the nectar from the fruit

as an enlighten being i am delighted
to share my light
to walk a noble path and lead the weak
that they will understand what it means
to do what is right
in defence of my honor i will sacrifice
my own happiness to give liberation
to my parents soul
that the throne of heaven be their abode
where they will not have to return
to the suffering of this world

oh father in heaven eliminate the dark pebbles
under my feet and replace it
with the carpet of my dream
when i consider how fortunate i am
part of this universe
i see myself as a fountain
to the stream.
