My Prayer

MY PRAYER

   I pray to my soul to show light acting right.
   I pray to proceed dauntless holding head high.
   I wish to stay sturdy not to bend in dismay.
   I must be dutiful, I always pray.

    When forgiveness turns weakness
  I will suppress my compassion but act ruthless.
  I intend to lend helping hand and pay gratitude
   to every bliss and gift, I pray.
  
     ‘Save me from danger is not my prayer.
     I pray to contend confronting hindrance not to flee.
     If competent, I pray to win with inherent strength
     putting dedication and devotion:
    Yet demanding recognition which I deserve.
                                      
      I will bear sufferings yielding yearnings,
      If I am not competent and won’t repent
      My earnest prayer silently murmurs in mind
     ‘I must not be deceived: My love and work should get honored.’
