These poems by Sri Chinmoy are to be recited by children, they come from Sri Chinmoy’s book – Fifty Oneness-Heart-Songs of a Perfect God and a Perfect Child.
I pray to God
Every day.
I love
Everybody.
I think everybody
Is good.
The morning
Gives my eyes joy.
The evening
Gives my heart peace.
Every morning
I see a most beautiful rose
Inside my heart.
Every evening
I see a most beautiful tree
Inside my heart.
One very important thing
God has taught me:
If I really love God,
Then I shall not
Be afraid of Him.
My parents have told me
Never to tell lies.
I obey them.
I just love
My mother’s affection,
Love and concern for me.
I just love
My father’s confidence
And determination.
He assures me that I shall have
Both confidence
And determination
Like him -
Even more!
