Shelley L Baxter Stanley - Is It in U? ...

Selfishness is in you
been there since the day
your mother pushed you through.

Had me fooled most of the time,
the other half I try to forget what you've said
praying all the while you won't hurt me again.

Selfishness is not a permanent condition,
open your heart and set it free like a bird...
it CAN soar to the heavens into Gods hands.
((AND))
Just remember when you have the urge,
to be selfish you can say NO and let it go...
On that day I too can forget and WE can be free of it.

Without it we can live happily everafter...
not selfishly~not you first, not me first.
But (WE) first! Sharing freely for an eternity.
