I Wished I Pray To Everything Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

I Wished I Pray To Everything

Rating: 4.6


I wished I pray to everything
When I saw trees, branches, leaves, root
I pray they can get happiness
When I saw stones, sand, soil
I pray they can get happiness
Although they pray much than me

I wished I pray to everything
When I saw tiger, bear, crocodile, snake, cat, dog, hawk, worm, whale
I pray they can find pleasures
When I saw flower, sun, moon, star, comet, snow, fog, mud, desert
I pray they can find pleasures
Although they pray much than me

I wished I pray to everything
When I saw sea, foam, wave, fish, boats
I pray they can have brightness
When I saw sky, cloud, lightning, storm, birds
I pray they can have brightness
Although they pray much than me

I wished I pray to everything
When I saw river, lake, gulf, waterfall, flood
I pray they can sense the joy
When I saw mountain, cave, hill, earthquake
I pray they can sense the joy
Although they pray much than me

I wished I pray to everything
When I saw grandpa, grandma, father, mother, uncle, aunt, grandchildren
I pray they can feel peaceful
When I saw presidents, leaders, heroes, soldiers, directors, actors
I pray they can feel peaceful
Although they pray much than me

I wished I pray to everything
When I saw doctors, nurses, victims, hospitals, shelters
I pray they can receive relief
When I saw sellers, buyers, goods, markets, shop
I pray they can receive relief
Although they pray much than me

mother nature looks after us all in her own way and so we should all worship and look after mother nature instead of destroying the planet.... Ruthy

if all your prayers were to be answered, this world would be a better place because the way it looks now, it is a total disgrace. man has destroyed all that GOD has given. and this is what they call living? your prayers as well as your poem, both deserve a ten.

The entire poem can be condensed into a single line: - 'I pray for the entire world for peace and happiness'.

we need all the prayer we can get especially in these trying times.... You might want to change your first line to I wish I could pray for everything The last line I don't get....

a noble message embedded in these lines..Mother Nature is our super hub of protection and we too should protect Her rather than destroy Her
