What I Believe
I believe that,
God is the benevolent Lord of the universe
And He is the creator of everything diverse
While love of God takes us to eternity
Love of man leads us to fraternity
We are responsible for what we do
And our actions determine what we turn in to
Credentials on the wall do not make one honored
But integrity of character makes one admired.
I believe that,
Inactivity is akin to death
While creativity is vital as breath
If perseverance conquers mountains
Laziness dries up fountains.
Hatred burns life like fire
And wickedness turns it into mire
On Earth, forgiveness bonds hearts
But revenge, sure, every bond thwarts.
I believe that,
Friendship is more valuable in one's world
Than all treasures in silver or gold
From shore to shore the waves of love shall roll
There is no more joy than being with a kindred soul
A true friend has no deceit
And a truly learned has no conceit
If jealousy is an acid which erodes
Generosity is a fuel that reloads.
I believe that,
As trees once clad in green livery will be bare,
The body through long use will wear and tear
None can escape time’s fierce assault
And all should enter into death’s cold vault
Though life remains the greatest mystery
And our life on earth may end like a story
There are no endings but only interim stops
And our soul shall enter a fresh life with new hopes!
