"Close to god":
------------------

When a baby cries
Unable to express its feelings
You take it into your arms
Gently smile at it
And the peace in the child’s eyes
Takes you close to god.

When a poor starves
Without proper food and shelter
You just put a penny
In its sore hands
And the blessings that you get
Takes you close to god.

When a bird falls
Failing to take its flight 
You feel pity and sad
Seeing its wounded wings
And curing its injury 
Takes you close to god.

When one has tears in eyes
In times of disappointment and sadness
You give comfort and your sympathy
Trying to console the sad heart
And wiping away the tears 
Takes you close to god.
