Weave a glittering tapestry
Of wisdom for youths of the world, so they
Resoundingly reject peer pressures that often
Drain their innocence. Words of wisdom would
Spare them the sword of damocles
Teach them as many life lessons as possible
Open their minds to new possibilities
"Live rightly, think rightly and act rightly,"
Is Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy. Familiarize these words of
Value to impressionable minds. Instill in them virtues like
Empathy, tolerance, patience and fairness
Bless them with the belief that the seed of dreams
Yield fresh fruits for years to come.
