Thank God!

 

C. Sita Rama Murti

 

Armed with Truth, strengthened with Wisdom

Chastened with Righteousness, mellowed with Love,

Man forges ahead through the long arduous part of the journey,

and emerges into the Oasis of rest and relaxation.

 

Old age needs rest – rest from worldly pursuits!

But the pilgrimage continues : the goal is far ahead!

Advanced age spreads its flavour

by making itself purposeful and fruitful!

 

Mobilising resources –

Faith that does not fade, Righteousness that does not stray,

Energy that does not decline, Hope that does not shrink

and Love that does not languish –

 

Man continues march to Life’s destination:

The footstool of the Supreme Lord,

The abode of lasting Peace and abiding Bliss!
