On hope mind is depended <br />By courage mind is defended <br />By failure it is offended <br />By prayer it is fully mended <br /> <br />Happy moments may be fewer <br />But each such moment is a rescuer <br />Failure is not at all a wrong-doer <br />It is a concealed courage-supplier <br /> <br />To death none is immune <br />This fact none can impugn <br />Before heart stops its tune <br />Let noble actions be sown <br /> <br />Lament not over failures and cry <br />With sincere hope work hard and try <br />All our tears only sweats can dry <br />Take efforts and do not simply lie <br /> <br />That which poisons mind is greed <br />The worst of all desires indeed <br />If a happy life you have to lead <br />Expect not more than your need <br /> <br />There should be a life-long campaign <br />Against pessimism which inflicts pain <br />To optimism if we ourselves confine <br />A fine life we can surely obtain <br /> <br />Great rewards are reaped by being silent <br />First, towards us none will be indifferent <br />Then misunderstanding will be absent <br />We can smell the aromatic peace-scent <br /> <br />An atmosphere full of noise <br />Where adults behave like boys <br />Should never be our choice <br />As it will spoil our equipoise <br /> <br />“How nice will be if we are kind” <br />Should be remembered by mankind <br />All our hatred if we totally wind <br />True and real peace we can find <br /> <br />Being a human-being is the greatest privilege <br />Conferred on us by God who will ever assuage <br />All our complaints to God we must lodge <br />All our difficulties via prayers we must dodge.<br /><br />Mailrangam Visvanathan Venkataraman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-need-peace-indeed/
