So Long As I Can Think Of You…
Monday, July 9th, 2018
So long as I can think of You, Sweet Mother… it doesn’t matter…these poetic wordings resound as words of greater faith, supreme faith a devotee can ever murmur to her Beloved Lord, looking unto Him, face to Face… In a world full of myriad problems when one thinks of Him, the world pales into insignificance…rhymes Sri Jullie Chaudhuri…
…So long as I can think of You, sweet Mother…
It doesn’t matter what I go through,
…So long as I can think of You…
Life gives me what is my due,
My heart always wears a smile,
…So long as I can think of You…
A few flattering words,
Abuses, an insult or two,
Nothing else matters,
When I close my eyes,
And think of You…
…So long as I can think of You…
A steep climb, a roller coaster ride,
A knock-out punch, a hole in my pride,
No regrets, no rue…
Your voice rings in my ears,
I am lost in You…
…So long as I can think of You…
Crowds or solitude,
Jostled around or given attitude,
For no reason someone close is rude,
Or for some imagined reason wants to feud,
The hurt that is felt, soon does melt,
For what if the words were coming from You,
The contents wouldn’t matter,
So long as I was close to You…
I would forgive readily too,
So does anything matter,
…As long as I can think of You…?
…The world pales into insignificance,
…When I remember You,
…So long as I can love You, cherished Mother,
…So long as my soul longs for You…
…it’s been so long…
…so long I have been thinking of You..
…So long as I can think of You, Beloved One…
…So long as I can think of You…
