Marry Christmas Special
A rose to the world
Sunita D'Costa
Who challenges man's existence today Chasing him from the Artic To the dense forests of the Amazon below? Is it not his very own shadow?Who's that ghost who whispers to man Justifying every action he takes Be it in the forests or cities, wherever he goes? Are not his senses his very own foes? Who's the forerunner of man's destruction Alluring him to the depths of shame To be caught in the trap of misdeeds? Is it not his insatiable greed? Stop man, stop! You can still win See your reflection in all, in and out of kin Your sorrow is theirs, and theirs is yours Your peace is theirs, and likewise Be kind to nature, birds and animals everywhere To the fishes of the seas and the marine life there Be kind to yourself, be you a Muslim or a Hindu A Christian, a Sikh, a Buddhist or a Jew Life is precious, as a rose to bloom And not to be sacrificed and burst like a bomb Offer a rose to the world in all its fragrance Holding Christ's love in His remembrance.
