A Special Respect For Good Heart! Poem by Ramesh T A

All is well that ends well says Shakespeare;
To see a good end, good means is needed says Gandhi;
Reaching end of aim by any means is okay say opportunists!

Culture means best thoughts, best words and best deeds;
Honest, sincere and truthful way of doing all leads to good end;
Achieving result at the cost of one's honour is not good!

One may be great by power, wealth and knowledge, but if not good,
All one achieves won't be remembered long in the world sure;
Selfless good acts of one only make one remembered as great!

Good is ever great whatever be the acts of the brute sure;
By force of power one may achieve all, but nobody likes that;
Good and kind works of one remain ever green in all hearts!

Appreciated by four and blessed by nation, if one lives in dignity,
It's self-respect and that too a good heart has special respect!
