English Poetry Shayari

As I Began To Love Myself
As I began to love myself
I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs
that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
As I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call it “RESPECT”.
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
Today I call it “MATURITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time,
and everything happens at the exactly right moment.
So I could be calm.
Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.
As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do
and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.
Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health -
food, people, things, situations, and everything the drew me down and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since I was wrong less of the time.
Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future.
Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening.
Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick.
But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.
Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.
We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!

What Happened to us I cannot comprehend
Mourning at your loss we were stunned
Lovely smiling figure thought of u as piece of art
How can u go away despite being active and smart?
Today everyone mourns at your tragic departure
This event shook us up in form of big disaster
I cannot buy the words that can explain you.

You And I Are Not The Same,
Nor Will We Ever Be.

But We Have A Common Thread,
That Attaches You To Me.

A Golden Thread That’s Spun So Fine,
With So Much Love And Care,

A Thread Of Gold, For Us To Hold,
That Only Best Friends Can Share.

A Common Bond Within Our Hearts,
Love That’s Rare, A Special Find.

An Ability To Feel And See,
Within The Heart So Blind.

So Know My Friend I’ll Be With You,
And You Shall Be With Me.

A Lasting Friendship, Full Of Joy,
For All Eternity.

I Would Not Have Known This Person.
Yesterday Would Have Turned Into Today
And Our Chance Meeting Would Be Gone.
Yesterday I Hugged Someone Very Dear To Me.
Today They Are Gone…
And Tomorrow Will Not Bring Them Back.
Wouldn’t It Be Nice If We All Knew
Tomorrow Would Be Here?
But This Is Not To Be,
So Take The Time Today
To Give A Hug, A Smile,
An “I Love You.”
