Inner Love
To love oneself and be at peace within
is neither greed nor yet a cardinal sin.
Unless ourselves we love in every way
there's no tomorrow in our darkest day.
When thus self love has filled our inner need
it’s only then our souls are truly freed.
For only that embedded in our heart
can be the seeds of love that we impart.
To give is better far than to receive,
to give what you have not will just deceive.
The love expressed by those who self do hate
will not survive the pressures of their fate.
To love oneself and be at peace within
is neither greed nor yet a cardinal sin.
