A Prayer

O God! I don't want to be the violent thunder that shakes the earth,
I just want to be the unheard melody of a blooming flower.
I don't want to be the blinding lightning that disrupts life,
I just want to be the gentle aura encircling the full moon.

God! I don't wish to be a beautiful flower attracting butterflies,
Let me just be a unfound flower hidden in the bushes.
I don't want to be a glittering city with all its glistening lanes,
Let me just be a unexplored land behind hills and valleys.

God! I never wanted to be a great river rushing everything into the sea,
I just want to be a small stream creating life and happiness.
I never wanted to be the mighty sun baking earth,
Let me be the morning star showing the way to the lost souls.

God! I don't want to be a popular, all successful celebrity,
Let me be an ordinary human living somewhere in the corners of the earth,
Let me radiate your love, happiness to everyone who needs it,
Let me be a short lived glowworm fighting gloom with all my strength.
