1. When I see Death's hand

When I see Death’s hand
    On your face,
My heart just breaks.
How I wish you could stay
    On earth
A few more good and God-years!

When I see Death’s hand
    On your heart,
My heart just breaks.
I blame, I blame God
Because He has not granted you
Even an immortal human birth.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 9, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
