Prayer
My Lord, my only companion and guide
Please drive this gloom away from my heart
Fill it with joy and peace never to desert
Strength and compassion to help the hurt
with glow of inner light that destroys the dirt.
Empty it from the narrow and baser thought
Light it with knowledge that spreads delight
that relieves all beings misery and plight,
help all in higher flights to reach Thy height.
Let it be engrossed with you and you alone
and not to flutter here and there forlorn
Amongst mundane matters ephemeral
Even under the showers of distraction
Grant my prayer to be ever in bond with thee.
