O My Body

O my body, for you I have brought
A new friend: simplicity.
O my vital, for you I have brought
A new friend: sincerity.
O my mind, for you I have brought
A new friend: serenity.
O my heart, for you I have brought
A new friend: purity.
O my life, for you I have brought
A new friend: humility.
O my soul, for you I have brought
A new friend: my surrender-seed.
O my God, for You I have brought
A new friend: my perfection-flute.
