Thank you Darlene. I appreciate your kind thoughts. Best wishes for a terrific weekend for you my friend.

This is so true; if you don't or can't love yourself then, you can't expect anyone else to; still many do. There's a huge difference between ego and loving self. Well penned, my fine-penning friend.

Thank you M.L. I have learned to tamp down my ego completely, pretending I do not have one, as it never serves me well.

Lovely poem, my friend... the part "Nourishes our/ Humanly/ Angels" reminds me of the phrase "the angel of our better nature", and I dearly love the idea of this!
