Garland
Telugu Original: Vasudha Rani
English Translation: Kalyani Neelarmbham
I garlanded You and felt so proudBut ,look at You , You created a gardenFor me ,You sent me wild flowersFilled with fragrance.Am I a fool toPresume that you await my offerings?In return for all Your gifts ,let meFor Atleast offer my heart.You are not the only one whoKnows the joy of giving . Me thinks ,I shouldn’t have chosen You But how could I question You ?I can only accept whatever is given ,Every day I wait for you , I long for YouI pray to You every minute of the dayYou showed me I don’t belong hereBut You are all that I haveTell me ,is this true devotion ?
