A Blessing From God

by Rupradha Mookerjee

I want a drop of water, you offer me sea,
I require a smile on my lips, you gift me glee,
I seek a drip of your care, you provide me excess,
I need a fine time, you give me my life’s best phase.

I desire a lil place, you confer me your whole heart,
I wish to see a painless ‘me’, you award me untold mirth.
I think of dying at times, you show me a thousand reasons to live,
I yearn for just a little love, you always have so much to give.

I crave to be a part of your life, you consider me your world,
I search for a rebirth, you grant me a new life, am enthralled!
I pine for a better self, you make me complete and new,
I covet a blessing from God, He came Himself in the form of you!

It is not very long I've started contributing my Tagore translations to Boloji.com. However, I've in the meantime discovered quite a few poets who can be categorized as outstanding and that definitely includes you.
I'm not a poet of my own and have a bit of exposure to Tagore mainly. It has become my bad habit to search Tagore's perceptions in the poetry of others whenever I encounter one. Maybe, many find it irritating but I'm helpless. If you'll bear with me, I find in this poem a reflection of Tagore's "Thou hast me endless / Such is Thy pleasure..". I'm inclined to believe, your gratitude is more to God Himself rather than to any human being of flesh and blood or, does the magic of your poem make them integral?
