Self-Esteem

Courage and confidence, like lifeblood, flow in me.
From life-giving streams, waters of wisdom I drink.
In scowls of my foes too, beams of smiles I can see.
With my flawless faith, all my endeavors I link.
I wipe off my conflicts as though they are sweat drops.
Graces, like dewdrops, kiss me with a gentle touch.
Compassion in me like the monsoon rains drizzle.
Kindness grows and flourishes like palms on hilltops.
For stumbling blocks and obstacles, I don't fear much.
With the passion of selfless love, I sizzle.

Beautifully put! I love the rhyme and flow of your words that offer so much imagery and beauty. You've connected your attributes with those in nature that we all love, making the person you've described a beloved, if sometimes flawed, figure. I hope you've seen in yourself someone worthy of love and appreciation. Thank you for entering! Xo
