878. Please come back tomorrow

Father, please
Come back tomorrow.
I shall give You
Everything You want:
Pure love,
Sweet devotion,
Unconditional surrender.

I am not ready today.

Daughter, please
Come back tomorrow.
I shall tell you
What you eternally are:
Aspiration-tree,
Realisation-flower,
Perfection-fruit.

You are not fit today.
