Prayer, A Love Letter to God

KINGDOM OF GOD

On a wonderful night; I was in a deep and pleasant sleep Knock at the door awakened me from my sleep, at midnight Angel of God's kingdom standing at the door, when I peep Gave me a golden envelope with fragrance, I opened in delight

It was permission to my petition to enter into God's kingdom Followed the angel in excitement and thrill, till the golden gate To my surprise, there were no guards nor army; but only a board "Welcome to my beloved Children", with wide opened doors.

Golden deer came running and guided me very grandly Pigeons on the trees and swans in the lake waved wings in joy Peacock took charge of guidance and showed the way proudly Elephant near the garden and cows in the meadows said "hai!"

Entered into the garden of love; grown by Lord of Love There were roses dancing in joy; but no thorns anywhere Plants and bushes filled with flowers of over flowing honey Offered me fruits, nuts and honey, filled in cups of leaves.

Crossed the bridge on the stream of honey and reached the Palace On the right side of pendal angels were dancing with praises to God On the other side of hall ṛṣis and monks offering pūjās to Lord Disciples and devotees sitting in padmāsana, chanting Vedas

I entered into the palace; my Swāmy seated on a throne As bright as millions of suns with his beautiful smile I forgot to pray; opened eyes very wide and stared at Him "Come my child", said my God with love and stretched arms

I ran and fell at his feet; I praised Him and prayed with tears God said! O! Dear! It is your home. No need of any fears Touched my head to bless; with his right hand wiped my tears I became an angle; and took over charge to serve my dear.
