A Golden One! Poem by Ramesh T A

Everyone thinks very high of one’s own things;
Even for the crow its own kid is the golden one!
But, of all, the praise of enemy is the best one;
Appreciation should be fair and reasonable one.

Comments from neutral persons have great value;
Criticisms of friends have to be appreciated ever
As there lies truth rather than flattery quite untrue!
Such feed backs truly lift up one from the bottom.

Kind appreciation and encouragements do miracles
If the encomiums inspire and take to the right direction!
But such rare good words are rare in this envious world
As selfishness rules all in the name of developments.

Preparing for the worst only makes one face adversities
And makes one achieve aspirations as conceived earlier!
