The Secret

By Avi Chandra

Success and laurels umpteen,

Happiness doesn't guarantee!

Beautiful loving people around,

Surely helps your spirits profound!

Involving yourself, keeping yourself busy,

At the end of the day, it's you with your soul undoubtedly!

The secret is to make peace within,

The silence, the peace, created therein!

Understand the thoughts, navigate them,

Let not the ups and downs overwhelm!

One moment of your day, take out time,

Try and make someone smile!

A kind word, a helping hand,

You will see where you land!
