Message To Youngsters

MESSAGE TO YOUNGSTERS

          Restless youth always to demand
          following the supreme errand
                       when motto proclaims
                       ‘My Life is Mine!’

                              Sure, to admit.
                        But not solely correct.
                      Never restrict yourself being self centered.
         
     CHORUS       though motto proclaims
                           'My Life is Mine!'
                                     
                         You guys are smart, intelligent
                           compared to old generation.
                           Yet that may not be sufficient.
                          Experiences matter more than intelligence.
                          
  CHORUS              No matter, motto dictates
                              'My Life is Mine!'

                       Respect instructions from elders.
                          to strengthen your shoulders.
                 Proceed and progress but not ignoring superiors.
                   Modest protest more effective than arrogant move. 
                        Get advice, analyze to rise above self
                               Final decision may be yours.

  CHORUS                Not to be biased with the motto
                                    'My Life is Mine !'

                     Keep in mind, you are a social being,
                              a domestic persona.
                              Ambition to sky high.
                     Youth is the prime time to access success
                                Your goal is victory.
                         
 CHORUS'           You must dream till your dreams are not fulfilled.
                            After all, motto says
                            ' My Life is Mine '
