Self Esteem

One's self praise is no recommendation My mother said without hesitation If she had heard me ringing my own bell It was a lesson that I soon learned well. Whatever you do, someone does better It's a fact, my mom was my abetter Her words will stay with me all of my days Though I'm a poet, I don't expect praise. Mom also said, keep some things to yourself Words one has heard that demean someone else Hear all, see all, but don't dare spill the beans Never pour water over someone's dreams I honestly try hard to be discreet Secrets shared, to myself I'll always keep Never repeating unkind words I've heard About anyone, knowing how it hurts. If someone is in need of help, I'm there Letting them know that I truly do care Although I am growing older myself As long as I can, I'll offer my help. As for my self esteem, I'm revealing The truth of how I truly am feeling I could have done better, it is a fact But pray I'll be loved until my last act.
