I had been wandering about,
forgetting the path,
when You anew showed me the way.

I wanted momentary happiness,
and You provided to me eternal bliss.
Sitting in my floral garden,
I used to wastefully pick thorns.

Removing the external petals of my flower,
You poured honey into my mouth.
Bathing me in fragrance,
You threaded a floral garland.

Sitting amidst burning charcoal,
I used to lay covered in blackness.
Changing my outlook,
You illuminated me with diamond-like radiation.
And, removing all my imperfections and shortcomings,
You made me Your own.
