Love Thyself, You Are Not Selfish

Contributed by Beyfoxman5 on Wednesday, 31st December 2014 @ 04:39:57 PM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems



Sis was concerned, about herself
One day on a drive, a story she did tell

She said everyday, I'm transfixed on myself
From the first to the last, ring of the bell

I admire mom, how she is never done working
And how she constantly turns around to help, dropping everything

She asked, "How do I free myself, of this me fight?"
"No matter what," she continued, "I want to do what is right"

Wait, wait, I stopped her in her classroom
If unselfishness was a ladder, you have it to the moon

Look at what you do for students, pointing to the notes on her desk
Frankly, it is that quality you already possess

So hey there sis, don't be ridiculous,
Love thyself, for you are not selfish
