Being Selfless Poem by Tanmayi Mukundan

Can you be as selfless as the Sun
Showing light to the Earth all its life
Or as kindhearted as the Earth
Giving shelter to man, animals & plants alike

Can you be as noble as a tree
And not shed a tear when its fruit is taken
Or be as forgiving as the rose
And give fragrance to the hand, it is crushed within

Can you be as tender as a Mother
To love her children unconditionally
If not, atleast be humane, forget the past
And Give, you'll be as happy you can ever be!
