[Entry Access Restriction] None.
Title:
EXPECTATIONS: a sonnet
|
EXPECTATIONS: a sonnet
We often lament we are not cared by
The friends and acquaintances in our life.
To view others’ problems we never try,
They have in their own lives plenty of strife.
It’s true that we need others’ love and care,
But do we give the same to those others?
It will rather be a person too rare,
Who selflessly for others’ sake suffers.
Let’s first learn to heal the wounds of others,
Before we wish that our own be tended.
If our expectations are to match theirs,
Let our fences with neighbours be mended.
No man can be an island to himself.
Man, ere seeking others’ help, help yourself.
