A Prayer

“The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors.”

Laozi

No star could ever dim the sun’s ray or it’s light,

Nor any shadow stain the vision from our sight,

For the one who became our leader to enlighten,

Shall be remembered as the affectionate President Biden.

And no matter how dark the night, or how far the sky-

For such a devoted leader, the day can never die!

“The darker the night, the brighter the stars,

The deeper the grief, the closer is God!”

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Illness cannot injure one so great and kind,

Illness cannot diminish that merciful mind!

No grief can erase the goodness you achieved,

Nor shall this nation forget the gift they received!

God keep you forever in health, success and happiness!

Blessed is your honorable wife, and children in their endurance.

“A right Heart exceeds all.”

Benjamin Franklin

From your name, episodes of glory and love shall never fall,

For in every chapter of greatness, ‘a right heart exceeds all!’

As the 46^th president, this nation’s growth was your call,

And for your presidency, in gratitude this nation stands tall.  

Your dreams and prayers are the reason this nation will survive,

And forever your hopes and wishes shall remain alive!

“We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels; Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.”

Rumi

Like the hopeful showers of the April rain,

The prayers of this nation shall purge this pain,

Though journeying to heaven, all eventually must,

Still we plead to the angels for a word of trust:

Let such greatness live on within our mortal land,

Take not away so soon, the life from his hand!

A Hope

“There is not room for Death

Nor atom that his might could render void

Since thou art Being and Breath

And what thou art may never be destroyed.”

Emily Bronte

There is no end for one so great,

Nor any death for those who lived in goodness,

Sickness has no power to berate,

And sorrow no space to interfere in life’s business;

Because with God’s infinite hand you were made,

All disease and death shall vanish,

And so, your legacy and your name will never fade,

And you shall never perish!  

“Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.”

Abraham Lincoln

And the sun shall always shine on because no one can diminish your light,

God will never fail one who always stood for the right.

And no cloud is large enough to cast a shadow over your heart,

Nor your bright spirit, sickness or sorrow can ever break apart.  

And desolation may drift, but it shall deluge not,

Diasporas may arrive, but darkness will dare not,

Deeds of noble hearts and mind shall fade not-

And aided with love and prayers, we shall despair not!
