My Daily Ritual Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

My Daily Ritual
- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Curtains of night;
Parting with the
Advent of dawn
And new-born morning’s light
And the world awakes
With its hopes and fears
On seeing the shiny day
Thank you so much God I say
For giving another opportunity
Another hope, another day
To gather joys of life
Forgetting stress and distress
And lightening sombre gray
And be happy and gay
Oh God you are the light
You are the sun that lights my day
If listless, heedless to you
I have been through turmoil and strife
Through troubles of life
Fighting the odds all through
And seeming to have forgotten You
Today I pause a little moment
Oh God for you to halt my pace
To thank you for your kind grace
My daily thanks are my daily ritual
Without which I can’t move and progress
Let adoration, respect and honour
Shine through day and night
Till the last breath to my creator...........
