A gift to behold

A gift to behold  

Who are you we wondered,
Where your path leads, we thought
I knew what we wanted, couldn’t envisage
Then we surrendered…

When in pain, you are the balm.
When there’s despair, you make calm.
When mind wanders, you direct.
When there’s darkness, you reflect.

The world could be treacherous,
Its people delusional,
with your guiding light, ceaseless wisdom,
the path lightens, spirit awakens, tranquility prevails.

As we celebrate, rejoice,
We all have a choice…
To be with others, to help learn, unlearn;
To keep the hope alive, the lights shining bright.
That’s a gift which will behold,
For a guru, who never gets old!
