    You Have to Love Yourself

    When life gets me down and things happen…..
    I look in the mirror and wonder who I am.
    I sometimes wonder if I even like myself….
    My gaze meets my eyes in the mirror and I wonder.

    This person is not perfect, no one ever is….
    The mirror tells some of it, but not all.
    And I still wonder if I even like myself….
    But then I see who I truly am, the person that is me.

    The person I see is me, no one else, it is me….
    If I don’t love myself then who else will?
    I know in my mind who will love this person….
    My children, my grandchildren, my dearest friends.

    Who else matters, who else needs to love….
    Me? No one, I have it all with that set of three.
    Ahh, but there is a fourth.... My lady love….
    She completes me and makes me realize all of this.

    That I do love myself, my life, my family….
    That I need her and all that comes with her.
    That none of us are perfect, and never will be….
    You have to love yourself and love will be yours.

    Forever…. You have to love yourself....

    true, so true but some people struggle with it. I am at the place in my life where I can look in the mirror and say I Love You. It is really neat. I love myself.

    How odd a thought for me to think of asking me if I love me.
    Sometimes I think I do, but not consistently, as it's so easy for me to know what I don't love, but maybe I'll get there.
