Mind!

You can feel warmth in the winter’s night.

You can feel cold in summer’s day.

You can still smile in the dreadest plight.

Amidst deep darkness, you can see a hopeful ray.

Mind!

You can make pure pleasure out of pernicious pain.

You can change history of defeat into story of victory.

On the lap of distressed desert, you can bring rapturous rain.

You can make the coward feet walk on the paths of glory.

Mind!

You can change a notorious nightmare into a fair dream.

When sad tears drop from eyes you can still make lips smile.

Amidst chaos and catastrophe, you can still hold your scream.

You are the strongest warrior. Any adversity in front of you is fragile.
