589. I forgot

O Earth, how are you this morning?
“I am fine, thank you.
Just one thing:
This morning I forgot to pray to God.”

O Heaven, how are you this morning?
“I am fine, thank you.
Just one thing:
This morning I almost forgot to love the world.”

O God, how are You this morning?
“I am fine, child, thank you.
Just one thing:
I just forgot through oversight
To perfect you,
To fulfil you
And thus
To glorify you.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 12, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
