You are to linger on <br />Till your mind blows down. <br />You are to write on <br />Till your pen dries out. <br /> <br />Work like honey bees <br />Till they call you great poets. <br />Share your thoughts and pains <br />Till your spirit joins the clouds <br /> <br />Language needs care <br />For it reflects your learning. <br />Expression needs passion <br />For it describes your yearning. <br /> <br />Write ten thousand lines about the life <br />Writ large on your planet`s forehead. <br />Right many a wrong as you live on <br />And tell the world you are there.<br /><br />M.D DINESH NAIR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-budding-poets/
