956. Mother, How Am I To Find You In This Very Life? 050208 Poem by Raman Savithiri

How am I to pass time of life?
In the lovely place earth in sky
Waiting ever for You to appear
Smiling at people who cross me
Stirring the hearts who rest near
Stinging accidentally who touch me
Knitting web of affairs to trap self
Dreaming a new world of future
Trying to unwind the loops of past
Making the situation still more worse
Losing the eggs at hand too
Knowing all these are not to be done
Let me ask You Maa!
How am I to pass time of life?

How am I to find You in this very life?
Spending just twenty minutes a day
Shedding tears just two days a week
Introspecting just few a days a month
Coming to your Mutt just a day in a year
Grasping Your name the only salvation
Keeping Your sweet form in sight
Hoping these trials will bear fruit
Enduring the laugh of world at this mad
Neglecting the search of wealth and welfare
Trying to break the hard shell ‘I’
Knowing all these are not sufficient to hunt You
Let me ask You Maa!
