If you think you don’t receive love,
remember first that there are many types of love,
and very few people
truly
don’t receive love
ever
and you are probably blindly
trampling on little bits
offered to you
with an open heart,
but that you think are insignificant
or not from the right person.
Be careful that the giver doesn’t
subsequently decide that
you
are insignificant
and be careful
of not being
grateful
and truly happy
with little bits of love,
for how can you be entrusted
with something so precious
as big love
if you spurn
the little bits?
If you truly don’t receive love (and even if you do) ,
don’t bemoan your fate
for you will just feel worse.
Instead, dispense love
to all around you
and you will
love yourself
for it
(so that’s one person who loves you now!)
and the warm fuzzy feeling
you spread,
will stretch
its arms
around to include
you
too.

I would like to translate this poem
I was drawn to your poem by reading the title. Now a day's everyone moans that he is not loved. All of us crave for love without knowing that we are being loved by some whom we cannot identify. Instead of complaining, we should start giving love to others and finally we will begin to love ourselves for the same reason....! Great thoughts beautifully expressed.
