SEPTEMBER 14th
A chirpy little sparrow,
Hopped up to me,
It’s lovely little features,
Filled my heart with glee:
The flutter of its wings,
As it started to fly and climb,
The beauty of God’s world,
Is wonderful and sublime.
"Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still." (CHINESE PROVERB)
Everything that I am,
God has given to me,
All of this body,
And everything that I see;
When I eat food,
It's really God's bounty I take in,
To keep my body fit and healthy,
And spiritually full of vim.
“A man is what he thinks all day long.” EMERSON.
I was often full of pride,
Always wanting to put myself first,
Such a massive ego,
My head and body nearly burst;
But pain eventually brought me to my senses,
A new way I had to find,
Humbly asking God for help,
Gives a happy mind.
"Happines depends on what you can give, not on what you can get." SWAMI CHINMAYANANDA.
Life is certainly a journey,
It's good to have it God filled,
For this allows the heart to be happy,
The mind to be calm and stilled;
To be humble before Him,
Thanking Him for energy and life,
Aiming to help others along the road,
Helping them overcome pain and strife.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." GANDHI.
