LET IT GO
                                 courtesy : Google image

When there’s a bolt from the blue
Or the thick thundering threats loom large
Let patience hold my hand
And help cross the confines of fear
When envy’s flame burns my soul
Or pride rises to reach the sky
Let prayers take hold of my mind
And help me let go of these impulses
When my boat sets sail in twilight
And is enveloped in darkness
Let my soul sing Thy Name
And I in peace cross the bar

  3. When envy’s flame burns my soul
    Or pride rises to reach the sky
    Let prayers take hold of my mind
    And help me let go of these impulses

    One of the most damaging to oneself, envy! One's thinking gets compromised and adverse feelings take over. Nicely Sumana!
