Gem of a counsel
Surendra Nagaraju: Poem ‘Gem of a counsel’
God has given us a mouth
to talk sparingly,
and a pair of hands to
comfort others caringly.
“Always talk less and work more”
is what should dwell in your heart’s core.
Elanaaga
Value of words
Words are ducks that swim
in the lake of a composition.
Don’t push them in large numbers;
they will give rise to congestion.
Words are gems set
in a crown – they add to elegance.
Don’t overuse them,
else they will produce repugnance.
