Gratitude without expectation
I saw the phrase yesterday
I’m grateful for who posted it
Because my heart
Was starting to get disappointed
Because my head
Wasn’t in the right place
Some days it takes a lot
To put expectation down
Of ourselves
Of others
Instant gratification
Feels good
But doesn’t teach much
And in this life
My need to learn
Is more important
Than my desire
To just want
For want’s sake
Love yourself and one another
Es importante amar en todos los sentidos.
ReplyDeleteAbrazos.
Peace
ReplyDeleteNice post.
ReplyDeleteSo very true. I like to give without expectation of anything in return, though you have to let the other person know you don't want reciprocation or they might do something because they think they must.
ReplyDeleteLove and kindness ...
