When I am gone away
When I am gone away,Remember me, O children sweet,
No, not because I failed,
No, not because I cried,
No, not because I tried,
No, not because I saw my Lord in you,
No, not because I served my Lord in you,
No, not because I fulfilled my Lord in you,
No, not because I was your Pilot true,
No, not because I was your ‘Infinite’ blue,
O, but because my life was all gratitude,
Gratitude, gratitude
To you, to you, my children sweet, to you.
Sri Chinmoy, God’s Glance and God’s Grace, Agni Press, 2006
