Esteem.
Joy in being
~ ~ ~ ~ is not understood
until what is seen
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ in the heart
is departure
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ from need.
Self is always
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ wholly enough
and to succeed
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ is to know
that we alone
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ can beat defeat.
Life may rain hurt
~ ~ ~ ~ yet we can learn
to dance and stay dry
- - - - - ~ ~ ~ ~ if covered
with courage
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ of self-esteem.

filled like a bloomin garden... full of beautiful truisms one only need look... Neville
Most grateful dear Neville for your read and assessment of the title's treatment - - pleased too that you dubbed the suggestions raised to gain success as "truisms" - - - my thanks for such an encouraging review
pleasure & true ..
Your wonderful first verse here says it all for me.
So pleased you liked the points made in that first stanza D A - your read and comment warms my heart.
There's a lot said, and you said it best.
How very kind of you to so honour my writing Suresh. Glad too that you dropped by and read the piece on Esteem.
Wonderful write Fay and so very true.
