Premium Member Angels Among Us
Many believe there are angels among us. Where do these angels come from? Are they manifest from among us? If so, how does it happen? A being in the physical state seeks the source of its being. It looks within its current form for the essence of its being. Determining that that essence is Spirit in form, it decides to align itself with the...

Selfish and Selfless
In the quiet of night, when the world felt so still, I brought you home, my heart full yet so filled with fear, A baby so small, so fragile and bright, After surgery's touch, we faced each new night. Your father, a shadow who came when it pleased, While I stood alone, with my worries and needs. Three days my mother...

An Altruist Unsung
She lived beside the old temple that has stood For years on the rocky bank of the silent river Flowing all through the lining greenery cover , The woods and the arable land rich and good ; Years ago she was the landlady ruler, across The several hamlets, who doled...

Oil can Acts of Love
I was but a tin man, A cold and heartless can, Frozen solid stuck on my feet, But then I heard a beat, It was you that oiled my joints, Many unrivaled selfless points, You cared for this piece of tin, To give life where none had been, Caring for me with little rest, Until again a beat from my chest, Showing me what true...

A Mothers Heart
A mother's heart, so full of grace, With endless love, she sets the pace. Though tired eyes may hide her pain, She gives her all, time and again. Through sleepless nights and weary days, She holds her child in tender ways. Her silent tears, the world won't see, Yet still, she smiles so selflessly. Her strength is quiet, yet so true, A love...

Rebel With a Cause
I refuse to be what you call normal, To fit in with your jealousy, or bitterness Your world is small, tangled in negativity and hate I refuse to shrink to fit in. You want me to bend, to belong, Folding myself to match your rank But I refuse, I am bold, strong, born to burn bright, not to bow, To stand tall and...

Selfless Sacrifice
You go and give this heart its wings so it can fly Just to clip those very wings and watch me plummet from the sky Still, my heart it never falters or begins to ponder why For you a zillion deaths and more I would gladly die If it means you will be the ones to spread your wings...

With patience deep and knowledge vast, You help us learn, from first to last. In every lesson, big or small, You catch us when we fear the fall. With humorous classes, that makes us hustle,...

In search of the new
With each passing day, a thought engulfs me-- As to what remained of yesterday would become. Apparently the curtain moves, even with the morn. The sun burns, selfless in resolve to better the earth The buzz heard in silence all around to deliberate life. Here I am, up and about doing chores, routine work. The seclusion from daily disdain, practical thought Prepares...

Premium Member Selfless love
Quote: "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." - Alfred Lord Tennyson In love's great quest, amidst the trials we face, We navigate a labyrinth of pain, Where hurdles rise, and shadows interlace, Yet still, love's flame within our hearts remains. Like thorns on a rose, obstacles...

Premium Member Ode to the Selfless Woman
Alluring kindness in a gentle, caring gaze, Altruistic spirit, a beacon in a maze. Anchor in the storm, a whisper, soft and strong, As she walks among us, righting every wrong. Anchored by humility, a beacon ever bright, Brave spirit, championing justice with gentle might. Considerate whispers mend a heart that's torn and frayed, Down-to-earth laughter chases shadows, unafraid. Empathy's embrace, a refuge...
