In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂
I sit at Your feet, mesmerised
YOU are my Baba, I’m Your child
Fondly, as YOU caress my head
All my fears I start to shed
Looking at YOUR love-filled eyes
Deepest of my anxiety dies
YOUR one look cleanses me
YOU hold my hand and I feel free
YOUR enigmatic smile
and – when YOU lovingly say “My child”
Makes my emotions run wild
My tears flow incessant, but I feel mild
YOU are my Baba, my strength, my all
At YOUR lotus feet, I repeatedly befall…
YOU are the SUN and I, Your sunshine
Like a vine, to YOU I entwine
Without YOU there can never be a me
Without YOU, I have no identity
YOU are my boulder, to YOU I owe my strength
YOU are my saviour; I know for me YOU’ll go any length
YOU are my guide, YOUR teachings I try to imbibe
YOU are my God, YOUR feet are my shrine
YOU always love, YOUR caress is not seen but felt
YOUR love is the purest, YOU make the toughest heart melt
YOU are MY SAI, YOUR name I chant day and night
YOU are MY BABA, I live by YOUR face, YOUR name and YOUR light…!
You always know when to step in
When to push me ahead or pull me back
You always know how to help me
To keep or steer me on the correct track
You never show that it’s Your work
But the love in it spills the beans
Who else, but You, my loving Sai
Is behind these magically caring schemes!
Just like that You come to help
Just like that You bring back my smile
Just like that You change the scene
In Your super loving and mysterious style
My guiding star, my lighthouse You are
Baba You have not a part, but my heart in whole
Never forsake me or leave my hand
Just fill me with You – body, mind and soul!
