Forgive Me My Lord... Poem by Neela Nath Das

Forgive Me My Lord...

Rating: 5.0


If someday, I can not keep,
My temperament cool,
If someday, I happen to
Curse, a self-declared fool,

If I point my finger to them,
Forgive me my eternal Lord,
As a shepherd, you instruct, I
Can not drive them, homeward!

I know from my childhood-
Five fingers are not even,
A few are destroying purity,
The rest is near to heaven.

If I beg light for them,
They will attack my soul.
Darkness they prefer,
hell is their goal....

I can't spend my brightest,
Days after, this satanic self.
Rather, I'll brighten light,
For the rest and for myself.

Forgive me my Lord,
If I can't keep patience,
And lose my faith on them-
I fail to put them in essence.

This is a lovely prayer...... though we want to forgive all, we are still clouded by bitterness at times, when things slip beyond our power of endurance.... but still we can pray God to forgive them!

I often feel I have someone else guiding my pen, I never thought of it being a ghost, could be, could be, great thought.
