Is It In U? ... Poem by Shelley L Baxter
Is It In U? ...
Selfishness is in you
been there since the day
your mother pushed you through.
Had me fooled most of the time,
the other half I try to forget what you've said
praying all the while you won't hurt me again.
Selfishness is not a permanent condition,
open your heart and set it free like a bird...
it CAN soar to the heavens into Gods hands.
((AND))
Just remember when you have the urge,
to be selfish you can say NO and let it go...
On that day I too can forget and WE can be free of it.
Without it we can live happily everafter...
not selfishly~not you first, not me first.
But (WE) first! Sharing freely for an eternity.
There is a very positive and inspirational message here. I...being one who often considers herself to be selfish...will hopefully learn from your message...This one is going in my favorites! Hugs, dee

I'am so happy and so free because this selfishness has never been a part of me. I can't stand it. I think we have to be careful though, we don't want to be foolish either. There's a time to give and we must be the one's to determine when that time is. Sharing and giving can be very gratifying. I like to give and then watch the faces light up. At Christmas I pick a family that needs help and send the items anonymously, I still feel good even though they don't know it's from me. That type of giving is great, but don't allow yourself to be used up which is easy to do with family members. That's right family members, they're the one's.
