The Celebration Of Life

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

There is a <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on">Krishna</st1lace> in every child
Mischievous, intrepid and bright
Every son reflects the qualities of Rama
Obedient, truthful, just and kind
<o></o>
All daughters are the incarnation of Sita
Loving and tender, caring and joyous
Who become faithful wives, mothers
A Sati Savithri
A courageous, dauntless Draupadi
Fearless Shakunthala
Are you and me
Indian women of destiny
<o></o>
<o>Every brother reflects the fraternal loyalty
Of a Balarama, Baratha or Lakshmana
</o>
The brightness and intelligence
Of every son and student
Is the embodiment of a benign Ganesha

Every teacher is representative
Of the protective and caring
Defending champion of causes
The brave warrior Karthikeya

The icons are but part
Of each person’s psyche
A reflection, an image
Of an individual quality
<o></o>
The divine is not apart from a devotee
The godliness is within the being
The merits are gained by doing
The act alone finally rewarding
A quintessential measure for immortality
<o></o>
Life is a celebration of existence
Every cloud is a harbinger of rain
Every breeze carries the nature of emotion
Every seed the wonder of creation
Every human of godliness a personification
<o></o>
Rejoice, celebrate, and revel in the holy
The Divine is you, not some outside entity
<o></o>

 

Thank you all!

Pray that the Muse strikes me.
