GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #119

Sweetness in words is more important than in food.

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #118‘.

Good morning Friends,

We are so particular about food we serve and eat,
It should really have good aroma and taste;
It should be soft, it should be sweet,
And nothing of it should ever go waste.

It shouldn’t be pungent, it shouldn’t be bitter,
It should never make our eyes cry;
It shouldn’t make one unintended spitter,
It should be pleasant to tongue and eye.

Alas, none of these apply to words we use,
And we use them without a thought;
We don’t mind if these are hot and loose,
Or make our listeners completely distraught.

Blessed are those who have the fine art,
Of conveying disagreements with a smile,
Their utterances are never taken to heart,
Carrying everyone with them is their style.

May you be blessed with such a nature,
So that sweetness and smiles you spread;
May your speech add to your stature,
As a person of warm heart and level head.

May your day be nice and pleasant,
Even with those who don’t agree with you;
May peace and sanity be always present,
In everything you decide to say or do.

Choose Sweetness over Bitterness.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
