How Love Comes Poem by V P Mahur

God created man
And asked him his
Wish to be fulfilled
Man said that he himself
Wanted to be ‘god’
So that he could do
His self help
God smiled and said
‘Your wish can be granted
If he could do three works’
‘O My Lord!
Just tell me what to do’
‘At first make a man
Out of this sand’
Man did so and asked
‘What is next? ’
‘Now give it life’
After efforts man that too
Did successfully
And demanded boastfully
‘Tell the third one’
Said God
‘Fill its heart with love’
Tried hard man
But could not succeed
Love in that creature
He could not breed
For love is God’s gift
Unique, matchless
Eternal tribute
That none can create
We can only distribute
If merciful God wants
And to us He grants
