We are happy when things go well, when things are right and all is swell,
When times do change like each season, when things go wrong without a reason,
Angry we get at what life’s giving us, we are then complaining and making a fuss,
Sad at being the targeted ones, broken we get at such turns.
Then we seek and pray to God, the ultimate refuge of them all,
‘Help’, we say, ‘please thy look at me, bless me with happiness till eternity,
Bless me with showers of your divine light, bless me to last my whole life,
Bless me with riches, goodies and all, bless me with health so I can stand tall,
Give me the power to live forever, give me a life which can only get better.’
All this we ask and assume to be done, but life is a web which needs to be spun,
We need hard work, ambition, honesty and drive, with perseverance, patience,
And purity of mind. Subtleness, calmness and quality endure,
Helping you from within to achieve much more.
Let us ask the almighty to give us peace, to give us space to fill other’s needs,
Space in our hearts, our minds and our souls,
To listen to others to help achieve their goals. For love comes from within,
It is within our hearts, it has one goal though it takes different paths,
he paths that we take reflect on our being, it says what we are, it shows what we mean.
So pray not for fame, fortune and money, pray not for all days to be sunny,
For if you are always in the light, you will know not what darkness is,
If you are always in good fortune, you will know not what humbleness is,
If you are always happy, you will know not what sadness is,
If you are always within yourself, you will know not what brotherhood is,
So if you pray, pray for peace, pray for love and ask God this,
‘Oh God, my saviour, I’ve come to seek thee, that whatever the case maybe,
Give me the powers to know the wrong from right,
If I am in the dark, show me the light,
If I am wrong give me the humbleness to accept my fault,
If I get hurt give me the strength to overcome it all,
Give me the courage to learn from my errors,
Give me the grace to come out of my terrors,
Give me love in my heart which will always be true,
Give me peace in my mind so I could pray to you.’
Ask all this and you will see, with happiness will come prosperity,
For God only helps those who help themselves, he gives peace to the heart in which he dwells, he gives strength to the weak in the refuge they seek, And he answers all our prayers.
Let us bow down our lowly heads and make a promise to thee,
We shall practice brotherhood and love in ultimate purity,
We shall spread the message of love as the years go by,
We shall make a better world for the others, just before we die.
