On the Top of a Hill
On the Top of a Hill
Now that we have reached atop a hill
We may wish to stare at the sky,
Long to stay there for a long while
Or wish to have wide wings to fly;
Now that we have are at the top a hill
Let us not forget those left behind,
Toiling night and day in the field
To earn a daily bread for their living;
Let us not ignore the helpless souls,
But bring a ray of happiness
To weaker folks in dire needs
And comfort to those in distress;
Let us partake the light of joy
With those with no roof for the night,
With those who have no meals a day
And those with no future in sight;
Let us dispense our love and care
To neglected elderly souls
Without a prop to stand and stare
And bereft of all affection;
Let our heart not be cast in stone,
But shine with the light of compassion
That seeks not any gratitude,
But is filled with comprehension;
Let us be the true instruments
Of the bountiful Supreme Lord,
The mercy of God to implement
On His distinctive earthly plane.
