Poems

The following poems are selected from Sri Chinmoy’s book. My California Redwoods, which he wrote on the bus returning to New York from Sports Day in New Paltz, August 21. 1974.

Confidence

```

My beloved Father-Lord,

I need ceaseless confidence

To claim You as my Eternity’s own.

"My daughter,

Your life-river

Has already claimed Me

As its Eternity's own,

But you have to do something more:

You have to constantly feel

That My Vision-height

Loves you infinitely more

Than you love your earth-existence-life

And Heaven-transcendence-light.” ```
