Inspiring Poem: 'Self reflection'...

Poem by Bhenji Mala Kaur (Gravesend):

Self reflection

Dear Lord, you blessed us with this human form,
after years and years of numerous births and deaths.
We have finally received this precious gift
but how do we allow our days to pass away?

Dear Lord you taught us,
to do that which is right
to do that which is truthful
to do that which is loving
But how do we allow our days to pass away?

Dear Lord you taught us,
to help the disadvantaged
to share what we process
to love and to respect humanity
But how do we allow our days to pass away?

Dear Lord you taught us,
to bow down to no other
to believe in one God
to rest our faith in you
But how do we allow our days to pass away?



Dear Lord you taught us,
to mediate on your name
to not forget you for an instant
to remember you in all that we do
But how do we allow our days to pass away?

Dear Lord, you blessed us with this human form,
after years and years of numerous births and deaths.
We have finally received this precious gift
but how do we allow our days to pass away?
