On Holding Yourself with Grace (Dr. Anna Sekhar)

1.
Losing words and your mind,
Losing your temper and your cool,
Losing empathy and warmth,
Losing your humanness,
Makes you an unworthy human.
You may be young or old,
You may be rich or poor,
These are immaterial if you, 
cannot hold yourself elegantly with grace.
.

2.
Your inner view of love, or
Your inner view of hate.
Your inner view of dishonesty, or,
Your inner honest feelings.
Your inner motive of deceit, or,
Your inner motive of sincerity.
Your inner feeling of jealousy, or,
Your inner feeling of joy,
Manifest in your words, deeds, and actions.
Be true!

3.
When you are happy,
When you are joyous,
When you are at peace,
When your mind is calm,
Your soul feels divinely.
All these positive emotions are,
an easy spread of happiness that 
Reflect on your face, deeds, and words.

4.
Empathise and not show off.
Understand and not scoff.
Care and not be ignorant.
Love and not be hard-hearted.
Show patience and not impatience.
Speak soothingly and not harsh.
Life is a circle and not an arc, for,
As you sow, so you reap.

5.
Being religious,
Having wealth,
Knowing many people,
Rousing curiosity about others
Are traits of an ordinary human.
Nobility and divinity lies
beyond material desires, arrogance.
Humility, calmness, empathy, and a joy
Seeing others grow is true human.

6.
Every word that comes out
Is a true reflection of what,
You have in your heart.
You may be amazing to some,
And some may be amazing to you.
You may want to spend more time,
With people who attract you.
However, an act of kindness helps,
Bring a smile to the other's face.

7.
Soothing words and caring embrace,
Genuine warm hug and a calm loving smile,
Sincere behaviour and honesty in deeds,
Truth in relationship is that one
Trait that has disappeared.
A shameful thing to say, but a sad fact today.

8.
The number of years you live,
The amount of money you have,
The kind of house you built,
The fame you have earned,
The number of friends you gather,
Are all immaterial if you lack integrity,
If you are manipulative, if you think harm for others. 
You are not worth knowing then!
