You Can

YOU CAN You can LAUGH when you have lost all the things you thought were important and have nothing more to lose, You can be HAPPY when what remains are the things that are to be treasured forever.. Good character, courage, Unselfishness and Love are the traits that never fail, No matter how many times relationships and things material, abandon, You can be VICTORIOUS when you conquer envy, anger, ill-will, fear and greed, 'cause these are your real and greatest enemies, You can be GLAD when you rightly guide lost souls leading them to their own treasures, as the torchbearer! Yet, You can still SMILE without any reason! Can't you?

Hello SKAT, LINDA and Silent ONE..... Thanks a lot for your encouragement. Ijust have one problem with the display of my poem, and its a major one. There is a last word in the new stanza which is not displaying as I tried to make it bold as instructed. After every YOU CAN there is adjective like Happy, Glad etc. The format seems to be complicated.

Hello SKAT A, Thank you for your warmth and encouragement. Seriously started writing poetry and am enjoying. Poetry is something which is rich with substance, can tell a story within a few words and there is so much of freedom in creation. It represents my nature, my core self and the state of mind when written. You could pour your heart out, Oh! I just love it!I would like to read everyone else's work too and learn.
