Best Unselfish Poems


Unselfish Love
I was blessed to know a woman in my life
Who faced hard times, struggle, and strife.
A Chinese immigrant, she came from a poor town
Lost her husband, was kept from her daughter, but not kept down.

She had three other children who were born here
Getting them a...

Line of inquiry - Ego shorn, here now reborn.

Unselfish Heart

The glow of the unselfish heart
Decorates emptiness with candles
While scattered relics of garden purity
Re-light votives in Babylon
In the gleam of selfless candelas
Nascent tapers breathe new oxygen
In the eternal fire of the Samaritan heart
Lanterns revive requiems for...

Premium Member Unselfish Selfies
I think of my Ego
and therefore perceive my bright light space place,
like my self-identity
growing optimally confluent health-power,
says Yang.

Yin co-responds,
We re-connect one EgoZone co-identifying place
within ZeroSoul Zone bilateral
one point of light
toward two-dimensional string of flowing-revolving time,
causally, almost casually, past through health-wealth
WinWin effective history,
fruitful future herstory

Premium Member One Unselfish Act
When the time has come,
for my spirit to fly free.
I humbly ask for just one,
unselfish act from me.

My presence will not be missed.
No one will remember my name.
A person, sadly dismissed.
Found lacking, in life's game.

I hope that once, in my past,
I gave but did not...

Unselfish Love
I was only three
What a gift you had given me!
A chance for a better life
To grow up and be someone`s wife.
You didn`t  walk me down the aisle.
Or hear me say those wedding vows.
I remember the day they came for me
Dad left the house leaving...

Unselfish Prayer
When you're tired, pray for the weary
For their strength to carry on
If you're lost and your path's uncertain
Pray the lonely find their way home

If you love this world more than God
Then pray for the addict who's bound
And when you feel that God's far away
Pray for...

Unselfish
You can have it all, if it was my last dime.
It don't matter if you're rich or poor.
My love will remain, "Theres not a men
how can turn my smile into a pot of 
gold, But you"
they can try but won't get to far.
This spark between...

Unselfish Tribute
Bless you for all you've given.
That a soul without a twist.
Yet you're scorned by the living.

Shunning are they, so numbing
To dwell in their assess.
Bless you for all you've given.

Beautiful are you, beyond the skin
With soul and vigor, unselfish.
Yet you're scorned by the living.

Your perils do...

Premium Member Make Your Life Sparkle

In your hands, lies twenty-four hours to live.
You can cry in your beer…. or smile and give.!

Do you have two legs to walk down the street?
Buy a fresh apple, give it to a homeless one to eat.

If someone walked out of your life, no sweat.

We struggle in life, desires unfulfilled, 
Yet, the heart is searching for peace and serenity, 
Only consciousness will deliver it one day.

I am…

The last resort for all your problems
Come to me even when all doors have closed
I shall be waiting to give you succour
Because you’ll be needing it the most

I am the force that lifts you
Give you confidence that you need
To mingle again after a heart-break
