Love Yourself! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Love Yourself!

Rating: 5.0


the flowers bloom for me,
the wind blow for me,
the rivers run for me,
why I have to shun me?

the clouds rain for me,
the trees grow for me,
the birds sing for me,
why I have to hide me?

the buildings built for me,
the satellites spin for me,
the poets compose songs for me,
why I have to mask me?

this world, created for me,
these institutions work for me,
the cows produce milk for me,
why I have to stand aside?

the hearts long for me,
the love effervesces for me,
the pain evaporates for me,
why I have to stand lonely?

If we believe that there is much beauty and caring around us, we will be able to cherish our lives more than we do! ! A simple, inspiring poem! !

What a wonderful method for getting ourselves out of our self-inflicted misery; to image the world being made for our enjoyment. Thanks for sharing your poem.

It's important to love one's ownself, though not in a selfish or arrogant way. No man is an island. life is so connected that if one does not love himself, he cannot love others. But if you love and respect yourself, then you have the ability to love and respect others also. Love Yourself-a great message.

A liberating poem. Let us indeed enjoy the sunrise and all joys of life. If we enjoy consciously all these small joys with a grateful heart our attitude changes and all chagrain evaporates. Success will engulf our lives. If only more poeple knew this, Veeraiyah. I hope many read this poem.

If we love ourselves unconditionally, there wouldn't be so many people who say that they hate themselves for the reasons known only to them! at certain point of our life, many of us could have felt or are feeling as if we are worthless, so when this world belongs to us, why we have to bother about others? let us live our life happily!
