A Prayer...

The morning dew smiles on the fresh green leaves...

A hope of a beautiful day is born...

Unaware and ignorant of their fate...

the drops dance around merrily...

As the sun appears on the horizon...

seeking the hidden with its rays...

The dew drops glitter and sparkle...

rejoicing in their magnificence...

The warmth of the sun melts them...

Soon they all disappear and die...

Sitting on my bed and looking out the window...

I watched the dance and the death...

of the once glittering morning dew...

I heard a silent prayer whispered deep in my heart...

Whether I live long or die young...

Let my life fulfil its destiny...

Let it shine and sparkle...

and dance in its magnificence...

Let it breathe and take it all in...

Let it become all that it can...

and when it touch the brilliance...

let it live no second longer...

Let it disappear and die...

like the dew drops in the morning...

Unseen by most... witnessed by few...

Like the way I saw them today...

someone will think of me and miss me...

and appreciate my life for what it was...
