I may not be beautiful, or even pretty <br />Those thoughts however are rather petty <br /> <br />The beauty of the Universe within me I hold <br />It matters less if I’m not worthy to the eyes that behold <br /> <br /> <br />I may not have the qualities or grace which make heads turn <br />Why am I here? That is what I was born to learn. <br /> <br />I may not possess skills or understand an exquisite piece of art <br />But I have Love hidden in the recesses of my heart <br /> <br />Of trivialities and possessions sometimes I make a fuss <br />Time and again I remember that there is a Supreme Force, watching over us <br /> <br />The Universe is always ready, for our conceptual losses, to compensate <br />Oh! ! I am too small, to fully understand and completely appreciate. <br /> <br />Love is a lesson which life makes us learn <br />The most difficult part is to give with no expectations of return. <br /> <br />To the ONE that encompasses all, I’m far too precious <br />I breathe, I live, I Exist, I am Consciousness<br /><br />Bindu Vidyadhar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-precious-i-am/
