Lasting Fulfilment

We give and we give, 'til we're running on low, from places where pain has no room left to grow.

A smile may stay, and the gestures remain,

but kindness can crack when it's rooted in strain.

When care becomes duty, not joy from the heart, resentment can grow and pull us apart.

But love that is lasting begins deep inside, where patience and self-respect quietly reside.

So fill up your well, let your own healing start, and give from the overflow, not from the part.

For when rooted in wholeness, our kindness runs deep, a fire that burns without needing to keep.
