Body and self

This ls the body which once criedFor mother's milk with stomach driedWhen fed with love then it smiledFate had lot in its store piled .This is the the body which went to schoolLearnt a lot still remained a foolNever knowing how to be coolIn ups and downs with knowledge as tool.This is the body when young in lifeSet up the family with its wifeCut all life's hurdles and strifeHolding wealth as its powerful knife.This is the body which moved aroundAll over world round and roundWith people flattering always surroundUnder strong ego having no bound.This is the body which did not careFor poor and old people in scareAlways worrying about its shareOf worldly pleasures here and there.This is the body now on floorLying unable to move any moreWith crying people around beforeBeing sent for cremation ashore.This is the body and perishable,KRISHNA, you told it is unstableAnd you are The Jeeva, unprerishable,Come I will protect You from all trouble.This body did not accept YouOh Krishna , though You gave all clueTo lead a Life without YouWill end up in misery without rescue.This body belongs to you LordOh Krishna , now without a wordI surrender to you now onwardTo ensure a place in The Eternal World.
