LIKE AN INCENSE STICK <br /> <br />Let my life slowly burn out like an <br />incense stick, <br />With its rising smoke as a prayer of <br />thanks giving, - <br />And with the ashes falling at Thy feet! <br />Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, <br />Let all mortality be turned to dust! <br />But let the fragrance of the smoke <br />remain, <br />In eternity with Thee - forever to <br />dwell! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 20 Apr 09<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/like-an-incense-smoke/
