[QUOTE="Gurukameet, post: 144333, member: 14788"] It is not that difficult spnadmin, it is really simple, what is not is making the network of support happen, when there is no will to do so. I wrote this for sikh children's book competition, they liked it but it did not win: The big beautiful light and me Narrator: Once upon a time there existed a bright light. A big beautiful light and that was all. Like the sun it shone and gave love and happiness. On that big beautiful light there existed lots of little lights, like sparks. All the little sparks loved being near the big beautiful light but some the sparks got further and further away. They longed to return closer to the light because that was where they were the happiest ‘Little spark: I am getting further and further away from the light and I feel really sad, but I am happy and warm’ Then one day all this changed, the little spark came out into the world as a beautiful girl. She was the youngest out of five little sparks. Everyone was sad; they wanted her to be a different kind of spark. But she sparked so beautifully they forgot. Big Beautiful Light: I know you are sad to be away from me, but do not worry, I will take care of you and whenever you need me, I will be there for you, I will always look after you’. Narrator: Have you ever felt sad, if you do, remember that the big beautiful light loves you, always. When the little girl was a toddler she moved to a different country where there were no animals everywhere and lovely skies and fields. She moved far far away, where there was lots of rows and rows of houses, that looked like trains and would one day ride away, again. Little spark: I feel a little bit lost and confused, this is not what I am used to , the people here are different, everything is so different. Narrator: Big beautiful light looked upon her spark and smiled. Big Beautiful Light: Dearest little spark, don’t be lost and confused, remember little spark if you ever need to be with me you will find me in the Gurdwara, there sit and mediate on Sri Guru Granth Sahib and there is where you will find me. Narrator: As the little girl grew older she began to forget her beautiful big light and was more interested in family friends and school. The world was an exciting place, there was lots of good people and some not so good. The little girl found that in her journey of life and goodness always shone through, who was this goodness, love and compassion? She tried hard to remember and was slowly remembering who this was., Have you ever felt the big beautiful light close to you with love? Little spark: whenever, there is love and compassion, I know you are there, big beautiful light, and whenever you are there, I know I am content. Narrator: Years passed and the girl had little children of her own, she loved them for they had been close to the light, she loved to take them to the parks and have lots of fun together. Little Spark: I can see now, that the big beautiful light has created a big universe and in that wonderful universe he has created lots of little sparks everywhere, in the trees, grass and rocks, so I never feel lonely again. But sometimes I feel so lonely and sad and I just want to be with you again, what can I do? Big beautiful light: I have not forgotten you, sweet little spark, everytime you want to feel my presence mediate on the Nam, mediate in the early hours of the morning and then you will find me. Narrator: So the girl mediated in the early hours of the morning and found her light once again. The girl now lives closely with her big beautiful light everywhere she goes. We can do this for children on the subject of death if we wanted to, explain to them what is means to die in Sikhi. :happykudi: [/QUOTE]
