68. Poem

Before I die

I wish to live my life

As and how I desire

A dream come true

Fairytale turns reality

I want to go places I wanted to see

In a house near the sea

A small hut on  hill top

Sunsets and rising seas

Cruise the oceans wide

Flying across the mountains high

These dreams I wish to live

By working hard 

And spending all my penny

 

Before I die

On a pilgrimage I shall go

To Jerusalem,  Nazareth 

All holy places over earth

Prostration to my God

Worshipping how God wants

 

Before I die

I wish to live my dreams

Making them come true

Through prayers true

May God accept my prayers

And turns my life as I say

Helping me fetch every ray

That in dreams I often saw

A reality better than my dreams

A life lived happily 

Before this world I leave

Before you die
travel inside dreams
towards his love.
