A PRAYER
In my imperfect life many things have
remained unsaid;
So many deeds have been left undone!
Yet I see the sun the moon and the
stars that shine above,
All performing to perfection; -
Obeying YOUR will with utmost devotion!
Despite my imperfection and unperformed
deeds,
YOU have not ceased to love me still!
Now with the evening drawing near ;
Please accept O Lord the scented flowers
Of my love and veneration,
Along with my prayers of thanksgiving,
So that I am not held guilty
of unrequited love!

This Life is a great puzzle To solve its Intrinsic roots One has to study within Thats the real Prayer. Wonderful perception True self realization Dear poet, this prayer Is straight at his feet.
He is the greatest lover. He is the creator of all lovers. He loves devils and saints both. I am His devil poet. Insanity is my dress. Immorality is my religion.I disobey Him. He still loves me, because He is promised bound. He can not break His promise. I can, because I am not HE. I am in conflict with HIM. I shall set fire on HIS throne. I want to see HIM weeping. Thanks for your traditional piece.
