You’ll Never Lose…

a poem by Mabel Annie Chacko

It is rewarding to find
Someone you like,
But it is essential to like yourself.

It is quick to recognise
Someone as a good human,
But it is indispensable to view yourself as one.

It is a delight to discover
People worthy of respect and love,
But it is vital to believe yourself deserving the same.

For you cannot live in someone else
And of all the people you’ll know in a lifetime,
You’re the only one you’ll never leave nor lose.
