When the joy and happiness
of others is above and beyond
our own;
when loving a beloved soul
more than we love ourselves
enough to set a loved one free;
it's not lack of self love,
being generous to a fault,
I doubt many have
the courage, heart, brains
to surrender treasures found,
just to benefit another.
while feeling small
or stumped still yield.
It isn't foolishness
it's self sacrifice.
No rivals can fill that void
of not grabbing what fell on
and off a broken lap.
-~~
Defeat is born first in the
eyes passing judgement
not the one surrendering
all treasures found.

To love others
more than we love ourselves
we need a heart a brain
and courage.
not just self love.
