Prayer For the Burning Forests
Prayer for the Burning Forests
O' Merciful God
Please be kind enough
To extinguish the fire
Which is engulfing the innocent trees
In their devastating flames.
Shower your raindrops
Shower your love drops
On these innocent children of Earth
Who are crying in the flames
Pushed by speedy winds.
Have mercy
On these plants trees, animals and birds
And even some humans
Which have not done any harm
To you O' God of fire.
They were only rejoicing
In the beautiful month of December
When the whole world
Celebrate the joys of the season.
Many new plants and branches
Were waiting
For the new Spring to arrive
So that they may show
Their colors and beautiful leaves and flowers
Which are shown by new saplings
When the spring comes
After every Autumn,
But many of them are no more now
Destroyed by the anger of fire.
But many more are still there
Waiting for your shower of Love
Which can extinguish
The more and more increasing
flames of fire.
If these children have done
Anything wrong
Please Pardon them
O' Merciful God
Extinguish the fire
Which is engulfing them
Every moment in absence of any rains
O' Merciful God.
