The love that you have held

within you, all of your care

should be enough, rather overflowing

for yourself, then only can you share.

 

Your soul, mind and body

should among themselves know

each other, so that you can

let their love to flow.

 

Before you want that your affection

should towards them reach

‘I am complete’ and ‘I love myself’—

these lessons to self should you teach.

 

‘Cause a glass half- filled or empty

cannot offer water to drink.

One can only fetch from

the well filled up till the brink.

 

You are still allowed to love

yourself while you stive for better

Success is not achieved in one day

Strive everyday to become greater.
