Some Precious Gifts !!

It is said that our bodies are made up of five elements. Panchabhuta as they are called. I read somewhere that the cosmic quest of the universe and beyond begins with Panchabhuta elements that ultimately manifest in an enjoining method forming life force. These five elements are Earth or Prithvi; Water or Jal; Fire or Agni; Air or Vayu and Sky or Akasha. Each of these five elements has its own character and each stands for a certain unique characteristic.

So when BlogAdda gave me a chance to think about the gifts I would like to gift my Child for a secure future, I thought, could I not gift him/her the precise qualities of these elements. Well, so, here goes the list of gifts for my future child.

 I wish I could gift you the stability of Earth

Abundance you ride, never the dearth

Nurture one, nurture everything all

Oh my Child, may you always grow tall

Wish I could gift you the fluidity of Water

May you shape yourself, situations whatever

Wish you to be that elixir, one that is most sought after

Converting people’s sorrows into peals of laughter

I wish I could gift you the passion of Fire

May you hold on, no matter circumstances howsoever dire

Hope you would destroy evil outside and within you

Would stand up always for whatever is true

My Child, I wish I could gift you the power of Air

May you have the ability to blow away unhappiness, worries and despair

Inevitable you be for happiness of everyone around

Well wishes for others in your heart may always be found

I wish I could gift you the limitlessness of Sky

May you succeed always and forever soar high

From within, may you emanate a heavenly radiance

Brightening lives around with your mere presence
