Defeats Prevented by the Talented

Practice makes you perfect,

By canceling every defect,

Your duty is to wisely detect,

Your talent and then finely act.

Great talent you may possess,

But, If you use it less and less,

It will become gradually useless,

A defeated soul, all will assess.

To such an end, give not room,

Today itself, you please resume,

Like a flower, you will bloom,

In fame, you will enjoy a boom.

Day and night, preserve your talent,

By the Almighty it is kindly to you lent,

Use it in life for mood to be pleasant,

For hard-work, give your consent.

To your own self, make a promise,

That opportunities you won't miss,

In efforts only lies life's actual bliss,

The job of victory-sanctioning is His.
