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.
