Prayer Of A Farmer Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

I am a farmer, I am a farmer
I have a little piece of land,
Whole day and night I work hard
And cultivate and harvest,
Many crops and vegetables
I give to my country's people,
Drinking my sweat and tear
Still I work and work very hard.

I never cause harm to others,
Always I try to serve giving food,
Although sometimes I do not eat,
Keeping my hunger under my stomach,
Still I love to see smiles
In faces of billions of people,
Hiding my sorrow under my heart,
I love to give happiness to billions!

Oh dear God, you support me and care,
You give me strength to serve for them,
Neither do I need anything in return
Nor do I expect wealth for comfort,
Nor do I need honour or power,
Everything you have given within me
Values of love, care, unity, service
And values of tolerance and forgiveness,
You have continuously supported me,
Oh dear God, ever I surrender in you,
You have showered greatest mercy
And due to this I walk in righteous path,
Neither do I fall in anger
Nor do I drive my mind in jealousy,
I feel my peaceful state by your grace,
Righteousness brings victory ever!
