My mind has come to a standstill,
The task to do seems to be uphill,
Hope lingers in my kind heart still,
My barren mind, will God kindly till ?
---
If my mind comes under my thumb,
It will never at all become numb,
Observe carefully by being dumb,
Give exercise to your ear-drum !
--
Show hatred toward none,
Hurt not others just for fun,
Pen is mightier than gun,
Let any duty be well-done !
---
Smile produces sparkle,
Obviates possible debacle,
Under pressure, don't buckle,
Escape from every shackle !
---
Life comes surely only once,
Though there are many Suns,
We get help only if our Sun grins !
In the duty-contest, our Sun wins !
---
Air helps kindly in anonymity,
Sun does nonstop activity,
Sky teaches about infinity,
Water for purity, Earth nobility !
---
God has given musing power,
Let noble ideas finely flower,
View not yourself as lower,
Go in nobility always higher !
---
When you are attacked by confusion,
Indulge not in thoughts' suppression,
Rely on prayer as it gives cushion
Have over nothing great obsession !
---
All have surely confusion in bits,
In every mind, it gladly sits,
To sit he who unwisely permits,
Loses sadly all his valuable wits !
---
God is the first and last resort,
Keep Him always in your heart,
As God is there, He will comfort,
Your soul he will surely escort !
