Sweet to Remember

a poem by Ramesh T A

It is sweet to remember the best thoughts of the world!
It is sweet to remember the best achievements of one!
It is sweet to remember the best portions of one’s life!
First things are first impression that is sweet to remember!

First day to school, lone journey to a hill station, or
First success in exam, appoint in job and first salary, or
First night after marriage, honeymoon and first child, and
Many things are sweet but first achievement is sweeter!

Classical ideas that are touching the heart move all much
And are sweeter to remember than romantic ideas flying fast!
Romantic stories sans morality though sweet are bad for mind;
But moral stories sans romantic ideas though great are insipid!

Food and medicine sans sweetness though good are uneasy to taste;
Romantic moral stories like tasty hygienic foods are sugar coated pills;
Yet, they are all sweet to remember and good for total manhood in life.
Things sweet to remember transforms difficult life into a tasty one!

Indeed life cannot be successful sans the guidance of knowledge;
But without the inspiration of love challenges won’t end in laurels!
Sweet thoughts give romantic mood to take up adventures to success!
Best classical thoughts, achievements and times of life are always sweet!

Photos, presentation articles, love letters and letters to friends are souvenir
That gives sweet thoughts and moods when one is on a difficult adventure!
A souvenir is a symbol of sweet things to remember at anytime in life!
Yes, great achievements are actually kindled by seemingly small souvenirs!

1% of inspiration provokes 99% of perspiration to achieve a great work!
A great book or Temple or monument inspires men to make miracles!
Naturally it is sweet to remember the Great Spirit, great mind or heart
Whenever we see a great of work of art or science in the world we live in!
