CHARACTER, THE RICHEST TREASURE OF LIFE
All, except an unblemished character of
a man, is vain and futile
All other acquisitions and accumulations
last only for a while!
A man of character alone can overcome
many an adverse stile,
A man of character can swim across the worldly
floods of the Nile!
It is the costliest, most valuable and
bejewel’d Crown of an emperor
A man of character has neither anxiety
nor trepidation and fear.
He can look the world, with a brave and confident
smile, in its face
He alone triumphs, at length, with effortless
ease, the stiff upward Race!
A man of character alone enjoys the Elysian
and eternal peace
He alone is blessed with, by the Almighty,
a rare spiritual Bliss!
A man of character, the Salt on Earth, alone
can Salvation kiss,
The rest are divested of Rest, for they
loosen the character leash!
Yes, character is the richest Treasure
that all must have a will to own
It is the most important Key, from mundane
miseries,to emancipation!
Thus, let the nurturing of character be
every mortal’s sole and prime aim
For, without character, alas! Ruefully lost
is life’s most precious Game!
