Pray For A Dawn

Who is my enemy? Do I really know? Those who are waging a war to amass lands or wealth, or those who are depriving the downtrodden of food and shelter, which are the rights for every individual! From childhood, I was encompassed by love, and kindness, that was my blessings...in a humble surrounding! Father’s love, Mother’s affection, showered on me, kindness from neighbours! Sibling- rivalry? No, that didn’t hurt or destroy my life! Who are my enemies? Those who competed for excellence in school? Or who never congratulated me on my success! Negative thoughts, despair, jealousy - are those our enemies! Enmity couldn't crush my determination to reach a destination. Sometimes I blame the war-torn situation, which caused my parents to suffer miserably! But my mother, who embodied kindness and empathy, taught me to hate the hatred, imbibe the inner peace she exemplified! So on this day, even when being crushed by disharmony and discord... war, hunger, poverty, racism in the world, I feel truly peaceful and embrace acceptance about my own hopes, successes and failures. I wish happiness for whoever loved me, appreciated me, or who did not… I wish them peace, the way I have been blessed! I pray for absolute Harmony on the planet, Our own Earth! Pray for a serene dawn when sun rises to wipe out all darkness.
