I want peace of mind
In poetry that I find

I love to be a friend
To all till my end

I can never hate
This I firmly state

Love is my weapon
It makes peace happen

I never at all shout
As I hate a bout

I will never cheat
Even if comes defeat

I will always tolerate
As patience is great

If I happen to lose
Only prayer I will use

I will fight for truth
Making living smooth

I will never meekly cry
Instead I will truly try

I will not run away
Instead find a way

I will abuse surely none
My job will be well-done

I hate to employ ego
Devil pride, I will forgo

I will ever compromise
Never behave like mice

Sacrifice is my strength
My will has a long length

Devotion is my power
I forget the Lord never

In case I receive an insult
Only the Almighty I consult

I take no insult to heart
As I know life is short

When I do my noble duty
First I thank the Divinity

Hatred I avoid at all cost
Due to that joy is not lost

I use money with wisdom
I make it my master seldom

God alone is my only savior
As He only gives me succor.
