Love

At the sight of an image of goddess, I was smiling; When I was born and barely a year old, There I felt mother's love, pure and mines of Gold At the sight of a stick, I was crying, frightened and almost dead, When I was growing and barely a decade old, There I felt teacher's love, rare, gifted, and bold At the sight of a blooming flower, romantic I was feeling, When I was grown up and well past a couple of decades, There I felt lover's love, warm, soft, sweet and kind At the sight of an honourable woman, of a sweet world I was dreaming, When I was a grown man and understanding the ways of the world, There I felt wife's love, steadfast, enduring and gift of God At the sight of divine little souls, I was praying to Almighty, When I was a responsible man and understanding the meaning of tender love, There I felt children's love, sacred, scarce and a joy for ever At the sight of a Fakir, I was just weeping and weeping, When I was getting older and yearning for the love of God, There I found God's love, pure and mines of Gold, Rare, gifted and bold, Warm, soft, sweet and kind, Steadfast, enduring and gift of God, Sacred, scarce and a joy for ever, Because I love Him and He loves me, And the stream of love goes on for ever.
