Love's Birthright.
Loosen tight knots that stifle the You
and shake down streams of self- healing.
Untie and fledge troubled feelings.
Allow freedom to fly.
Take wing into inner Heartland
of unlimited pardon where failure never
applies nor is it found.
Success will become unbounded.
Do not expire before trying each invite.
Find fervent zeal within life's peopled fields
and pick nurture's love-seeds.
Tended and grown inside then watered with
personal action care's fruitage alters.
Mindset oils attitudes for once peace with self
is digested souls learn to lighten.
Each breath of compassion is precious.
Humans beget need to share in outpourings
of tender kindness.
Letting tight knots stifle the heart
cannot shake down fond streams of healing.
Starting with self is love's birthright.

Fay - such a lovely message and absolutely the hardest thing to do .....
Oh I agree dear Lorna - yet these worthy traits are worth working for as the verse suggests in the final line - - - "Starting with self is love's birthright." Thank you for your valued comment.
Ahh - 'Love our neighbour as ourself'. Fine words here Fay. I must love them - not sing to them! heehee.
Yes loving our neighbour is at times not easy but worth the try eh Orchi ? - - thanks for the smile in your comment as I too sing off key and folks soon run away when I begin. - -
We should form a choir - to torment them! heehee. I'm horrible sometimes! lol.
Great write
Thanks Tony.
Welcome
Thanks FAY ~ for a very elegant and thought provoking POEM ! The Good Book says we must LOVE OTHERS to the same extent that we LOVE OURSELVES ! A Priori ~ How we treat others is proportional to our own SELF ~ ESTEEM and SELF WORTH ~ Yours as always BRIAN (Priceless !)
Great poem, love that last line! So well written, as always!
Lets us move forward in the kindness within ourselves being shared with those around us. Good write Fay.
