The Birth of Truthfulness (Satya)

For a newborn child.

New breath fills her lungs with the air of a world that does not know her.

So quietly does she lie in her mothers' arms:

A new light that shines on the earth today,

Bright with a peaceful radiance so wanting in the world.

Filled with the grace of  purity she stepped into our lives,

Ready to teach her lesson to those who would join her in tranquility:

So prepared to bare life's mantle, she greeted the world with a quiet sigh

Of one who understood its noise and hustle, but quietly smiled with wise eyes.

 

Oh Satya live up to your name

Your mothers have given you with great insight!

That you might show all the world your love

And that we might learn from your power and your light.

Author's Note

highly sentimental. Satya means truthfulness in sanskrit.
