Myself (A Mix Of All)

There is no Self in Selfless

There is no self in selfless you have to think of others

You need to recognise the fact that all men are your brothers.

When you see the plight of those in need, with very little hope

And those who flee from tyranny and yet still try to cope.

Sometimes you may be there to act and sometimes you can say

There is no thing that we can do except to kneel and pray.

You know you are so fortunate and you have lots to spare

There is no self in selfless and so we ought to share!

There’s Only Self in Selfish

There’s only self in selfish you do not think of others

Except to think that you may be worse off than your brothers

You look at those with lots of dough and very many things

And you’re full of jealousy that only envy brings.

You’re filled with much self-pity and you rail against the fates

And camp with avariciousness at every rich man’s gate.

You make your life a misery and long for a big break

There’s only self in selfish and that’s your big mistake!

There’s Lots of Love in Lovely

There’s lots of love in lovely that’s why you think of others

And there is no envy when you see all men as brothers.

You can be glad for every thing that other people own

And sharing from your little is how your love has grown

Just thank God for everything with which you’ve been endowed

And think of all the happy times that you have been allowed.

Show a loving, cheerful face to everyone you see

There’s lots of love in lovely and that’s what you will be!
