THANKSGIVING! <br />I thank the Air which still retains its oxygen <br />content, - <br />Enabling me to inhale till my last breath, - <br />keeping me alive! <br />I thank the Water which quenches my thirst, <br />Which washes me and cleanses me; <br />The Holy Water which baptizes me to make <br />me whole! <br />I thank the Fire which sheds its warmth, <br />and gives me light; <br />The flame that prepares my food to keep me <br />alive! <br />I thank the Fire that consumes my body, - <br />Burning me to ashes, reducing me to dust; <br />To dissolve me into the bosom of my mother <br />Earth! <br /> - Raj Nandy <br /> 03 Mar 09 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanksgiving-33/
