English Poetry

It is he who made me see

I walked a path with no direction
walked vicious cycles endlessly
trapped in bitter anxiety
I couldn’t see

My life was still in its beginning
already feeling tired being
dragging along my tortured self
I couldn’t see

By heavens mercy weight was lifted
Jesus Christ did pity me
saying those who will ask questions
they will see

They came along as BBT book
the lessons that would free my being
truthful words from the gurus mouth
I started seeing

The ignorance it couldn’t withstand
divine knowledge’s radiant beams
his truthful words were saving me
Now I see

In my heart are hope and faith
he showed the path that is foreseen
for all the souls within this world
(Śrīla) Prabhupāda uplifted me

Forever indebted to his lotus feet
striving to live in unity
with what he did and what he said
because I see
