To my children, Have you ever pondered this

Ask yourself this everyday.
Why in the world do I think this way?
I think such awful things about me.
And think highly of everyone else I see.
But now let's turn it around to you.
And recognize what you do.
I should be my own favorite best friend.
Today is the day that I shall begin.
To myself today I just want to say.
I'm praying that you'll have an excellent day!
May God help you to always smile.
Because to me, you are worthwhile!
If someone today is mean to you.
Just know that I love the things you do.
Thank you so much for always being there.
I find comfort in knowing at least someone cares.
When I am sick, I can count on you.
To be there with me until I pull through.
You are my guest during every meal.
Sharing thoughts with me of how I feel.
You never once say "You're boring me!"
You are what I think a true friend should be!
Just know you are my greatest friend.
The one to be there until my life ends.
Today, I'll smile, but others won't have a clue.
I know I am loved and I want to thank you!!!
