☆ ~ ‘The Company We Keep…’ ~ ☆

☆

Let good company guide us

on life’s fearsome ways,

While the evil thoughts lurk,

many a night and days…

* 

Our friends are our noble

thoughts that keep shining,

Yet, sinister thoughts are the

enemies, always inflicting

 *

Sanctified virtuous thoughts

transform our weary lives,

Defining the ideals that go

beyond the endless skies

 *

The mind is a huge bundle of

thoughts, —wicked or fine,

Gives birth to many yields

a harvest of satanic or divine

 *

Turn your mind wholly towards God,

Let His love shine as effulgent light

Let the goal of the life, be purified

through the devotion’s might..!
