LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF

Years upon years have gone and passed
Seeking to find that true love at last.
But how can you possibly find this
When there is something important you miss?
"Love thyself" is what they all say
"And never shall you want for even a day."
That is easier said then ever done
When all you know is inadequacy by the ton.
Taking small steps is the best way to go
Learning each day, taking it slow.
Look at your own strengths for one
Ignoring your flaws until you are done.
Now using your strengths you can proceed
To correct your flaws and areas of need.
Examine your life as close as you can
Take the time to realize you are only human.
Open yourself to the love of the Divine
Know that you are important among kine.
You are not alone in this thing called life.
You have support unconditional through strife.
"Carpe Diem," seize the now and here
Take the chance, do not fear.
There is no harm in precious self-respect
From that font comes love and prospect.
