THIS ONE IS MINE !!

this is one of the poems penned by SATHYA SAI.. :).. yes the DIVINE POET HIMSELF!! :)
-> in 1974 for the November issue of SANATHANA SARATHI (the Birthday Issue)

This One is Mine

I do not need any riches; for, why should I?
A carefree mind is enough, O Father,
That is a Million for me!

I shall not yearn for Fortune; for, why should I?

A smile-lit face is enough, O Father,

That is a Million for me!

I shall not pine and want: for, why should I?

A glance from Thy Eye is enough, O Father,

That is a Million for me!

I shall not crave for Wealth; for, why should I?

The joy of being Thine is enough, O Father,

That is a Million for me!

Enough for me these things I have,

Whatever Thou hast gifted now;

Why think of getting more?

ll have them when Thou wishest;

Enough for me Thy un-diminishing Grace

Which falls on all whom Thou hast blessed,

With the words: This one is Mine.
