Fresh out of university
On a hot April day
Instead of wasting my
Precious life away
I eyed the Khordeh Avesta
Where in the corner
Quietly it lay
Took a tiny peek
As I was extremely curious
To see for myself
What knowledge
I was about to seek
It was a herculean task
To pronounce & practice
Each word & each line
I was not about
To give up
As I was stubbornly inclined
Not giving up
A Chance of a life time
As I prayed each & every day
My faith in my prayers did grow
That’s when I realized
The beautiful everlasting
Friendship I would sow
From the Sarosh Baj to
The Yahsts as well the Gathas
How refreshing & joyful
To pray the very words
Uttered by Asho Zarathushtra
As the going got tough
Tough got tougher
I decided never to part
The pristine prayers
Prayed from the heart
Çause I knew then & there
They will always be on board
Where ever I go
I know for sure
There is a God!!!
Enjoy
Choicest Happiness
