Living The Dream Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

The sun gives light
so the whole world will see
as the sages give words of wisdom
for all of humanity to be free
with faith we nurture the seeds
that will cause them to grow
with intelligence we seek knowledge
to create that we will come to know

we are always in company with the infinite
for the shadow follows us behind
the stars in heaven never fall asleep
they continue to merge their thoughts
that flows through the mind
the waves in the ocean
never cease
that we can recognize Godliness
and to remain pure
trials and tribulations
will always keep us engaged
that we will have the patience to endure

the layers of clouds will pass above
for the vessels in our mind
will have rain
we must not be trapped by illusion
and from temptation we must refrain
the fountain of happiness
will continue to flow
and glitter-like pearls in the stream
we are fortunate to be creators
of own destiny by living the dream

as seasons change nature teaches us
to adapt patterns of habits to follow
as magnets we are attracted to the sun
-there shall be no reason
for us to live in sorrow
happiness is in giving and sharing
to the world the knowledge we learn
Mother Earth has unconditional love
equal to the sun
for all to reap the reward in return.
