Self Sacrificing Poems | Examples

Sentimentality

You sparked a solemn sentimentality in me.
You showed me I can find passion while free.
You stood by me after I revealed I'm not always pretty.
You showed me sympathy when I was unworthy.

You set me afire with a sincere desire.
Your persistent kindness makes me want to aspire
To do my best to try to be better
Towards you and your heart in every letter.

You had set me free from a desperate longing
By telling me I shouldn't be so self-sacrificing.
And yet, I will forever continue hoping
Someday I can be of your belonging.

You made me feel something from the beginning.
You made me feel lost in the sudden ending.
But I am finding myself forgiving,
Because it is simply you I will always be loving.

Your Disfigured Ode

mother
here no longer 
but forever judged
you were everything
the self-sacrificing
source of all love and comfort

and all rage and rejection
you made me
and i am somehow part of you
and i was your mirror
showing what you did not want to see
weakness, neediness 
the object of your shame and self-loathing

now
(just like me)
instead of producing a bouquet of roses
I disfigure this ode to motherhood

Just Me

I’m ok being amethyst alone
No one to share my  humble home with
I guess I do miss a kiss
But is that lust or just
Just an infatuation to resist

I think I’m too selfish to love him
And at the same time like many
I’m self sacrificing because
We are given dolls to care for as girls
Taught to nurture the whole world
Yet never given permission to be
A recipient of the same emerald energy

Never taught that boy who hits you
Has no right phuck that HE LIKES YOU 
Never taught to get out your head
That girls want more than to be fed

The hard years of my life I was alone
The odd years of strife solitude was a throne
Sure I have basic needs
But that comes goes with burgundy breeze

I’m ok being alone with myself
I’m not so bad I am just and fair
And if God sent Prince Charming now
I’d send him packing at the next town

Not that I don’t believe God 
Just that I have peace at heart
Why add to my serenity 
When I’m ok alone with just me

This Is

Insidious like cancer
Concealed, deceptive
A thief in the night
The treacherous friend –
This is Doubt. 

Radiance incomparable
Like ten thousand suns ablaze
An epiphanous marvel
The support beneath your wings –
This is Faith.

Unsteady as a rope bridge
Stretching across a chasm
A blind leap into uncertainty
The confidence of a believer –
This is Trust.

Glorious like the Almighty’s mercy
Having the capacity to heal or hurt
All-consuming yet self-sacrificing
The power that grants immortality –
This is Love.

Ruthie's Gift -- By Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Can't say I found the ending 
unpredictable or surprising...
Nonetheless my heart was touched 
by their self-sacrificing

Poets Are Cool Spy

The clime without poets is like the soulless desert
Poets drew their dreams in the words of the mind
The morning without poets is like a sunless night.

Without dreams we have nothing to get high
Poets play with dreams and they are cool spy.
Poets bring the sunshine where has no daylight!

Those who are self-sacrificing poets
They are the golden sun in the world.
In the cloudy sky, I'll find that sunlight.

You write so many untold stories
You have so much love in your heart
You're warm-blooded and you're soft.

Sometimes you are calm and reposed
You're smell of flowers and the singing bird
You're shadow of evergreen forest!

Who'd do questions without a poet, who'll answer them?
Who'll think of nature and who'll love it like you.
The world in the evening, let the morning come.
It'll be a disaster anyway, even then here you come again!

Visual Virtuosity

Graceful: a unique and an exquisitely arranged being.
Gorgeous contours and beauty that ignites that feeling.
Ambitious, intelligent, God-fearing and fully mature;
Undeniably classic qualities of a virtuous woman; for sure.
She clearly knows her most intimate desire and pursues it:
Purpose, passion and persistence ultimately gains her profit.
Her spirited and self-sacrificing character speaks a volume;
A beautiful human embodiment: fragrantly sweet perfume
She assuredly keeps her wits and exudes common sense; 
A divine present offered as a help-meet is her true essence.
The astonishing radiance of her smile and alluring kindness;
All a picturesque display of absolute heavenly blessedness.
She’s the kind of woman every mother speaks highly about;
A scintillatingly sweet, vision of special, without a doubt.
                                                            End

Valentine

Valentine's Day isn't about you, men!
It's about spoiling* your self - women!
Nah! Can’t wait for being pampered!
Nah! Ain’t altruistic and self-sacrificing!
Nah! I don’t depend, I am demanding!
Yeah! Expectations are graduating!
And the love is exploding!
I am awesome and rocking!
I love glamour, I am always shimmering!
It’s just Tiffany’s, when I am shopping!
See my neck is flossing!
And my skin is gleaming!
Yeah, I love celebrating! 
Valentine’s is exciting!
Let the rules, get breaking!
My eyes are shinning!
And the smile is beaming!
My look is ravishing!
My style is dazzling!
I love myself; I am dating!
You live only once, come on stop cribbing!
My gloss is now popping!
All my friends, let’s be rip-roaring!

Questions

Deeper than a feeling a question resonates within.
The thought of where the start of self sacrificing 
all begins.

From the heart, where all parts of love is shown?
From the mind, where thoughtfulness is grown?
From the touch, we share each and every day?
From the passion, we share in love, work or play?

Growing ever tired, old and now slow as time passes by
this question I need an answer for.
Did anyone ever achieve from it and could have I given
more?

He Died Today

He died today

He died today, for both you and me
keeping intact his righteous human dignity
Died like a criminal he was hated and despised
With divine love for you, do you even realize?

He died today, not because he did something wrong
but to save you and me, now to him we belong
When someone dies for you, how do you feel?
Do you even understand it, to you is it real?

He died today, because he chose to do God's will
Without his sacrifice, we'd all be slaves to sin still
Because of his altruistic, self-sacrificing love
We can be forgiven, by our heavenly Father above

He died today, after sunset, it was the Passover of Nisan 14
after sundown tonight, we remember the events in between
He had his last supper in company with his faithful friends
then his enemy betrayed him, his life would soon end

He died today, bruised and battered but he was innocent
he was a perfect man, a ransom for us, that was heaven sent
We cannot forget the great love that to us was shown
We now live in eternal gratitude, our very life we disown.

Kindness,Goodness,Faith, Mildness

Kindness,
is what you do, when you perceive,
that someone has a problem,
or special need.

Goodness,
is a quality that inspires the rest,
to be self-sacrificing, and,
to do their very best.

Faith,
is needed to please God well,
when you have it, he can tell.

Mildness,
conquers rage,
calms it down in every stage,
helps you to turn the page.

The Fruitage of the Spirit

Love
is what you feel,
when God to you is real.

Joy
is, a feeling inside,
you,
cannot hide,
that rarely subsides.

Peace,
Will come over you,
When you have,
an overview,
Of God's purpose for you.

Patience
is needed by everyone,
to remove the sting,
of injustice,
and for God's will to be done.

Kindness
Is what you do,
when you perceive,
someone has a problem,
or a special need.

Goodness
is a quality that inspires the rest,
to be self-sacrificing,
and do their very best.

Faith
Is required to please God well,
when you have it,
he can tell.

Mildness
Conquers rage,
calms it down,
at every stage.
Helps you to,
turn the page.

Self Control
Is needed to keep us,
from harm,
It also helps us,
to keep,
sounding the alarm.

My Belief Is True Love Is Unconditional

My belief is true love is unconditional - 
totally accepting, 
forgiving, 
supportive, 
encouraging and empathetic -
it is boundless, 
lacking ego and willingly self-sacrificing. 
it is an oasis in a desert of emotion, 
a haven of peace in a tempest of wrong decisions, 
an embrace of infusing strength at all times, 
arms always lifting you up,
prayers of protection every time you're out of sight, 
prayers of thanksgiving when you return.
