Teach Me.

TITLE;TEACH ME.                                    

                                                        

I am like a pilgrim in this beautiful planet,

Just like my grand parents who were here previously.

I am like a palm tree, with all it's abundance.

Teach me to number my days.      

                                                            

I am like a little child, who bathes only the belly,

And forgets the other parts of the body.

Who strives to put his fingers in a burning flame,

With all it's dangers, teach me.                      

                                                              

You are the source of everlasting life,

You hold the key to my life.            

As i woke up to behold the glory of the morning sun,

Teach me to know the wonders of all your works.

                                                                  

Today, as i celebrate my birthday,

In remembrance of my freedom from my mother's womb,

And the liberty of a new star that is rising,

Teach me to know that you brought me for a purpose.

                                                              

Let the joy of a new birth, launch me to great heights,

Let my meditations be on my footprints on the sand's of time,

That posterity, may know that a star was once on this path.

Teach me to number my days,for all are strangers on earth.
