Keep me still <br />And graciously full <br />In gentle ways, <br />And never waver <br />From regard to all, <br />They be all evil, <br />Unkind and wild. <br /> <br />Teach me skills <br />To handle evils <br />And turn to angels, <br />Turn their focus <br />To right and wrong <br />To see themselves <br />Why they are wrong. <br /> <br />Suffer me oft <br />And draw on dust, <br />Lift me up <br />To float on sky - <br />To know in full <br />What life is, <br />Its depth and height. <br /> <br />Gnaw me unkindly <br />To consistent paste <br />That rhymes to all, <br />Attuned always <br />To left and right <br />In perfect symphony <br />Of divine music. <br /> <br />Fight me hard <br />Till I give up <br />Unfair desires <br />That hurt others, <br />That unjustly invests <br />Me with booties <br />I do not deserve. <br /> <br />Call me towards <br />While oblivious I go <br />Of what and why <br />Of life’s course, <br />And run rat-race <br />To wrong goal-posts, <br />And bring me to path. <br /> <br />Lift me above <br />Common faults <br />Almost all suffer, <br />Give me sight <br />To discern merits <br />And keep steadfast <br />On right moves. <br /> <br />Feel my beats, <br />The truth inside <br />Of my moves, <br />When I err <br />While seeking good, <br />Show me mercy <br />And kindly guide. <br /> <br />Resist me always <br />And bring to knee <br />When I do wrong <br />And pursue the route <br />In undue logic, <br />Give me insight <br />Why I went wrong.<br /><br />Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vision-2-2/
