To Dear Kasthuri-Oh! Almighty-Poem-3 Poem by chandra thiagarajan

To my friend
KASTHURI


POEM-3


OH! ALMIGHTY


You blew life into this frame
And moulded me to carve a name
Before I could ask for it.

Me you sowed among parents so good
And gave sisters and brother as best as you could
Before I could ask for it.

With education and interest wide, me you blessed
With love and kindness, my heart you pressed
Before I could ask for it.

You granted me an eye to enjoy beauty,
And a heart to wonder at Nature's bounty,
Before I could ask for it.

In the serene waters, of family love, me you set sail,
With sweet children as four oars, who ne'er fail,
Before I could ask for it.

Not these alone, but things many more,
For this poor earthling You have set in store,
Before I could ask for it.


But that bosom friend, that dear Kasthuri,
From me You've snatched, in such a hurry,
Though I entreated You for her!

Why so my dear Lord Almighty?
