Let me say this gently
Let me say this gently,
dear friend.
It is not our job
to become loveable.
Can it be ok
to hear that?
We need not change
the shape of our bodies
or paint our faces.
We are loveable
if we do or don't.
We don't have to mould
our point of view
to match another.
We are loveable
whatever we
might think.
Love is neither reward
for good behaviour
nor payment for
services rendered.
That is something
else …
Love is the
pulse of Life
the nature of All
the ground of our Being.
It is not our job
to become loveable.
Can it be ok
to see this?
For loveable is
what we are
already.
What if we
stop trying
to prove
our worth
just for a moment
and begin to relax
into the knowledge
that Love is
what we
are.
