A little child's PrayerIn lonely solitude of hills and caves There is a place of peace and happiness, Where those bewildered by the whirl of life Can barter it for everlasting bliss. If I have to be born again, In this world with its aches and pains, Grant that I be more contented, As an idiot with less brains. Cleverness has made me suffer, In city life instead of the wild; Please grant that I never grow up, But die as an innocent child. As a child I did not know, Because I had not the need, To know, One must strive, With all of one’s might, Past the traps of knowledge, Not to know, Is Bliss, For then, There is nothing, To be feared, For when there are no paths, There are no pit falls, Only a Home to be reached, And a Mother, To cuddle you through the journey. - Venkat |
