Dear Lord ...

Dear Lord,

We sat impatiently waiting for your darshan.  

We  looked anxiously at our watches.

Oh, when will Swami come?

Then there was a hush and You appeared,  

a beautiful vision of light and love.

You glided slowly and gracefully towards us

and our aching hearts sighed with bliss.

"Swami, Swami," we whispered.

You came close to us and 

we held our breath in excitement.

Then You said the magic word "Go!".

Oh could this be true?

We sped towards Your interview room 

and waited quietly outside for You.

Then You ushered us in and we sat before You, 

tears running down our cheeks.

You spoke softly, gently to us.

Some of us timidly touched Your Lotus Feet,

others gazed at You, lost in bliss.

Then it was over too soon.  

We filed quietly out of the room,

our hearts bursting with joy.

Thank You, dear Lord, for  those precious moments.

Only You know when to give,

who to give,

what to give.
