DO HARNESS, ENHANCE AND RETAIN YOUR ‘INTENSITY’!

DO HARNESS, ENHANCE AND RETAIN YOUR ‘INTENSITY’!

How can the eggs be hatched to give forth Youngs,

By a pregnant and painstaking hen, crow or dove;

If any one of them lacks the much needed Intensity,

In the warmth of her sacrificing and matchless Love?

How can water be turned into ice,

By a freezer or any other freezing device;

If there is laxity in the Intensity of the required cold,

Which is, for manifold purposes, purchased and sold?

How can a fielder desperately dive to take an impossible catch,

If he fosters and cherishes no Intensity to win a tough match?

How can a Scientist study, research, analyze and enquire,

If he is not ignited by the Intensity of a novel “Discovery Fire?”

Hark! My dear, for lack of Intensity, you can neither ever love nor hate,

Thus, do harness, enhance and retain your ‘Intensity’ before it’s too late!
