Poem - Love is its own reward
A poem for NHS workers and everyone in caring professions who go on caring for others, even though they don’t receive the recognition or respect or pay that they deserve. In spite of the main idea of the poem, love alone is not a sufficient reward.
Love is its own reward
Some people stand apart,
have no need of status,
recognition,
or the world’s approval.
They have risen
above the need for love or lovers
because they have it all
within themselves and love to spare
and give it all to others.
