Love Yourself

Author Dana Redricks
July 2, 2023

Learn to love yourself, a fundamental key,
Nurturing your soul is a necessity you see, for how can love blossom, if all you see is the flaws within. 
Embracing yourselves, take the path to love that can only come from the One above. 

In the depths of our being, love must reside, respecting, caring, our spirits cannot hide, for in our self-worth, our essence takes flight, radiating a glow, a beacon of light.

Speak to yourself with love, words sweet and kind, a constant reminder, to your soul, to bind, never let anyone belittle or demean, for within you shine like a gem, oh so serene.

Remember, dear heart, your value runs deep, like a priceless treasure, your worth you must keep,
Stay true to yourself, in your own unique way, with self-love as your guide, you'll never sway, or throw yourself to the side.

Bathe in the fountain of self-compassion and care,
For when love blooms within, life becomes fair, Cherish your flaws, for they make you whole; A tapestry of imperfections, a beautiful role.

From the depths of your soul, let self-love arise,
Unveiling your essence, a priceless surprise; Embrace every facet, every part of you, for love starts within, and from there it will grow.

So learn to love yourself, in every hue. The masterpiece of your being, embrace it too; For by loving yourself, you'll radiate grace, a beacon of love, lighting up every space.
