A Gallant Bride

Tomorrow’s history makers Future record breakers Are the infants of this day They should be taught well In order to lead the way They should be taken forward In the fear of God By the responsible one’s above them Ye parents, guardians and lecture givers Train them to keep of boozing Instruct them never to go logger heads Improve their knowledge of moral uprightness So as not to make their regime Bite the just Our guardians of later days Subtract yourselves from the disguised devils Less they turn you into a bag of disgust Make yourself confident in yourself And keep a cold shoulder Of relying on them Or at last you become failure’s hosts Disembark from the plane of the unjust And board the plane of the just Desist from hitting below the belt And permit fairplay to rule For it is a praise worthy value Let the truth prevail in all you do Let your attitude be reflected in your records So as to be known as an accountable man And a scrupulously honest woman Always be on the level So that they would be your face saver When the doubting Thomas talks Deprive yourself from going against the rules Even when you fail But move on gallantly Till you win the race Lend a helping hand To those who lose When you win Cease to get satisfied With where you are Escape from the clutches of laziness For it hinders your success Put your best foot forward And work as if your whole life depends on it Don’t mask yourself from your responsibility Express love and care to your mother land Show her all the beauty She possess inside her Give her the strength of pride To be a gallant bride.
