DRIVER'S PRAYER


Driver's Prayer

(1)
Oh God,

Let me be with You, not with the demon!
Let me learn from You, not from the demon!

Let me be with sense, not with folly!
Let me be disciplined, not unruly!

Let me be calm, not excited!
Let me be broad, not narrow-minded!

Let me be patient, not impatient!
Let me be acceptive, not violent!

Let me be careful, not careless!
Let me be mindful, not mindless!

Let me feel that others are like me!
Let me be for them alert and wary!

Let me be law-abiding, not an offender!
Let me obey the traffic, not create disorder!

Let me realize that money is life's essence!
Let me not waste money by causing accidents!

Let me not use mobile while driving!
Let me not be urgent for call-answering!

Let me in no case drive on the wrong side!
Let me keep gap from others long and wide!

Let me be mindful of vehicle maintenance!
Let me refrain from taking any chance!

Let me drive slow, not drive fast!
Let me live long, not shortly last!

Let me remember my blood are over there!
Let me return safe for their care!
                                          
                                          (2)                                    
Let no vehicle crash onto me!
Let no dog or deer run into me!

Let no show attract my attention!
Let no allure distort my vision!

Let no emotion affect my intelligence!
Let no abstraction obscure my ambience!

Let no incident cut off my presence of mind!
Let no folly betray my mind from behind!

Let each speed breaker appear clear!
Let no pothole, if any, from eyes disappear!

Let no urgency force me drive in haste!
Let no learning of mine go waste!

Let none make me apply sudden brake!
Let none put my life in stake!

Let none brake suddenly before me or tailgate!
Let none, other than me, decide my fate!

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. ©️ N P Samal
