Prabhupada

Prabhupada
When I remember you
My eyes fill with tears
It's been so many years
Since you first filled up my darkness
And helped me to find light
You brought me sight
And now I pray that I can keep you
And your teachings in my heart
May we never drift apart

Prabhupada
After so many years
Of searching for truth
In my frustrated youth
Suddenly you came before me
And taught me how to live
And now I give you
My thoughts and words and actions
As an offering in return
For the truths that I have learned

Sometimes I feel so far from you
So far away from God
I ask myself, "What's keeping you
From serving Prabhupada?"
Then I open up the Gita
And there my eyes can see
The words that soothed me long ago
And brought me to my knees
They comfort me
They say, "Do everything you do
With love for Me
Go on chanting My holy name
And do not worry."

Prabhupada
Although sometimes I feel
Some distance apart
Somewhere deep in my heart
There is always that sweet memory
Of those eternal words
I've often heard
And when I read their timeless message
I feel close again to God
And to you
Prabhupada
