Mv Venkataraman Poet Couplet

You Can Win If You Rightly Begin

For your thoughts, you are the boss
You can surely prevent your loss

Your happiness, you only hold
You can make your ideas gold

For your health, you are the master
All the good habits, you can muster

You can be sad, mad or even glad
It depends upon the preference had

You can converse, argue or shout
You can be clear or have doubt

You can love or hate or be indifferent
It depends upon your mind's current

You can laugh, smile, cry or weep
What you sow, you surely reap

You can joke or be serious
You can be true or specious

You can take a firm stand
To make your life grand

Or stoop before others meekly
And give up your goals weakly

You can be sociable and kind
Or arrogant with a bad mind

Everything good, you may own
Or lose everything to atone

If you are wise, take my advice
And your plans, you revise

If my advice seems to be wrong
To listen to it, never at all prolong

If my advice is sensible only
Kindly follow it daily duly

Always the choice is yours
You can get tears or cheers

Never do anything due to force
That is the best advice of course

Use the freedom given to you
And shrewdly make a self-rescue

All the best in your endeavor
Always use reasoning power!
