Lonely Lamb


Oh, my Lord! I'm quite a lonely lamb;
I know not which womb I've come from!
What I speak and do creates hostility.
I know not the difference between 
Good and bad, as l learnt it not as a child 
Resting my head in my mother's lap!
Having no parent to guide me rightly,
I request you to be by my side always,
And teach me the ways of the world! 
Show me the right track to travel on;
Give me the wisdom to be righteous 
In my outward expressions, while I speak, 
And in my inward reflections, while I think!
Save me from becoming the laughing stock,
And set me to be the apple of people’s eye;
For I crave to taste the bliss of true love!
