Like the first ray of the sun on a chilly morn
can make you all set for the day
Like a cup of hot tea while down with fever
can spark a hope to get well soon
Like a reassuring smile from a loved one at the time of crisis
can let you take a sigh of relief.
Like the very touch of raindrops on your face with arms wide open
can drive through your soul a sense of liberty.
Like being wrapped in a warm blanket
can endow you with a sense of security
Like a victory
can leave you yearning for more
Like a defeat
can teach you to face the music.
Like some truths
can reveal the ruthless realities
Like with these comparisons,
can I go on and on
Oh my lord,
Like a father,
Teach me the lessons of life
Bless me with the courage
to face myself each day
with the nerve of a hero,
with no guilty conscience
with no explanations to rely on
with love for myself within me.
Bless me with the power
to make otherâ??s day
with no harsh words
with no unanswered hostility
with reverence for others.
Bless me with the wisdom
with feelings not outdoing the reason.
Bless me with a reason
To make my life worth living
Bless me with a desireâ??
To be myselfâ?¦.
Bless me, my Lord!!!
