MY FATHER SHOWS ME THE RIGHT WAY Poem, by JVL NARASIMHA RAO, at My poetic side

He shows me the right way

And inspires me to compose a poem a day

When I can’t I will simply pray

And He will tell what and how to say

Every day is His invaluable gift

He gives me the spiritual lift

He made me a teacher by profession

To serve humanity is my noble mission

The morning sun gives me inestimable inspiration

The beautiful moon is my life long adoration

The sparkling stars illumine my soul

The vast blue sky reminds me of my eternal goal

My friends add incalculable meaning to my earthly life

Without my endearing wife my life becomes mere strife

My daughters add charm and beauty to my duty

For my earthly father’s loss, heavenly Father takes pity

I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for my being alive

For the emancipation of the depressed I will strive

Faith in the Holy Father gives me the real drive

With his blessings I hope three more decades I will survive
