DIVINITY AND DIGNITY: haikus
Lord, you are divine.
Won't divinity confer
Dignity on me?
Please bestow your grace.
That is what gives dignity
On your devotees.
Make me follow all
The Ten Commandments you gave,
And make me better.
It is said that in
Your image you made the man.
Give me that image.
Let me serve others
With all the love that you preached,
So that you love me.
