God Teach Us To Number Our Days

… As the wind blows every branches of the trees 
With its leaves drop down in the ground 
That decays in time.

... As the seasons change with each division 
Every weather persisting; autumn, winter, spring 
And summer that moves our Ages according to its years.

... As time passed by as a circle cycle of life 
Every fetus that growth in the womb of a woman 
That exist to join the unit of Humanity to live.

... As the air in the substance circling in the galaxy 
That flowing up and down in the realm of the earth, 
Dark clouds appears produce raindrops falling down 
Scatter everywhere, the sun comes out, 
Drain the water, evaporate; everything repeatedly 
Itself existing in a different category of thing in time.

... As we travel far in its journey teach us to count 
Every out going and in going day after day, 
In whatever life we may be. To make us more meaningful, 
To make us more open in many things, in many way to learn.

Teach us to be grateful to you in any weather, 
In any seasons, in every journey, in every pain and 
Sorrow in our life.

Teach us to be ambitious to love you more each day we live.

GOD...

Teach us to number our days in life here on earth.
