You love, beyond any desire,
As you know what is hatred.
You give, beyond all measure,
As you haven’t got what you wanted.
You share, everything you can,
As you have always been lonely.
You care, in all your capacity,
As you’ve always been finding shelter.
You are kind, to everyone you meet,
As you’ve always wanted favors.
You smile, before all,
As you’ve experienced sorrowful nights and tears.
You devote yourself completely,
As you are scared of being left alone.
You advice, help others to stand firm, boldly,
As you’ve always wanted support.
You make many sacrifices,
As you are scared and insecure.
You make many compromises,
As you want to have ‘something’ of your own.
How selfishly, selfless you are!
