Self Care and Care For Others

SELF CARE TO TAKE CARE FOR OTHERS

                   Take care of yourself first: Be strong and brave,
                   not to flinch, but to clinch and earnestly crave
                                             for self -care as lesson preparatory.
                  Honor self-esteem: Personality not to drop.
                  Honesty and activity are the main props.
                                            Self-care will place you in top category.
                 Then and then it’s easy to lend your hand
                  to stooping drooping tumbling ones to stand.
                               Search for distressed in your observatory.  
                Benevolence is your trove of desire.
               To implement throughout life, entire:
                                          Self-made human chooses right trajectory.
                Self-care not selfishness, a road to success
                with final goal to care for the populace.
                                           Care for each other is just mandatory.
                 We are for ourselves and each for the other.
                Self-care needed for efficiency to gather.
                            ‘My care’ and ‘Our care’ are complimentary.
