A Blessing If You Would Learn

The heart when young, so blissful and knows no sin
the mind's ego knows no bounds, its strength within

The earth, sound and steep, its fruits the soul entice
the taste of spice great! to every slice a price

The eyes rain and the mouth would savour its pain
when dry is your land, sow no seed, reap no grain

Valiant steps fear no edge nor the burn of sands
wish die for the glory of walking God's Lands

Specks of dust make souls blind can turn lives to dust
just a spark of deep Faith heralds paths to trust

Ascend and observe, gems in you aim to earn
What seems as harm, a blessing if you would learn

God for you paves paths and lends many a hand
a deep well of Love granted to flood your land

Those warm drops of Love and Life, in time of birth
brought heaven under your feet, mothers of earth

Peace and joy in voice of heart to God raise praise
light in soul,  a power with beauty would blaze

Brushes and pens paint and a language translate
the soul ebb and flow beyond language and state.

Dear Besma, I do not go by my last name. Ferdous is the highest ranked heaven , I am an ordinary person. I hope you will accept me . I have a nickname, "Keka". In Bengali it means the call of a peacock. You can call me by that name.
