'Me' And 'the Almighty'! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

When I wasn't Born, I was with The Almighty!
When I had to be Born, It is The Almighty's decision,
When I was in the Womb, The Almighty was with Me,
When I was Born, The Almighty was Watching Me,
When I was Named, The Almighty called Me!

When I was Breathing, The Almighty was in the Air,
When I touched the Ground, The Almighty was in the Earth,
When I was Thirsty, The Almighty was in the Water,
When I Gazed at the Sky, The Almighty was in the Sky,
When I was feeling Cold, The Almighty was in the Fire!

When I was Clapping, The Almighty was Laughing,
When I was Growing, The Almighty was Guiding,
When I invoked HIM, The Almighty was in my Prayer,
When I was a Family Man, The Almighty was Testing,
When I was blessed with Children, The Almighty Personified!

When I Failed, The Almighty had HIS Fingers Crossed,
When I Succeeded, The Almighty asked, 'What Next? '
When I was Struggling, The Almighty was Assessing,
When I did Good, The Almighty was seen Everywhere,
When I did Bad, The Almighty disappeared!

When I Retired, The Almighty was Full of Joy,
When I was Dying, The Almighty was Welcoming Me,
When I was Breathless, I was with the Almighty Again!
When I realized, 'Who I'am', The Almighty was in Me,
When I Existed or Not, The Almighty Prevailed!
