18. He wanted to become
He wanted to becomeA great athlete.
God fulfilled his pygmy aim
And smiled at him.
He wanted to become
A great poet.
God fulfilled his pygmy aim
And shook hands with him.
He wanted to become
A great Yogi.
God fulfilled his pygmy aim
And blessed him.
He wanted to become
A true lover of humanity
    And
A true server of God.
God fulfilled his giant goal
And embraced him,
    Powerfully,
    Proudly
    And
    Supremely.
