Though many with what I say may not agree <br />I cannot love others if I cannot love me <br />If you can't love yourself you can't love anyone <br />That applies to all and that is barring none <br />The worst of crime born from the seed of self hate <br />But those with true self love such good can create <br />Mother Therese one example her self love was great <br />And she is a person we should celebrate <br />If you cannot love self, love you cannot give <br />That must be a sad way for someone to live <br />Those who know self love can be generous and kind <br />In the one who loves self a good person you'll find <br />If you cannot love self you can't love anyone <br />That applies to all and that is barring none.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-can-t-love-yourself/
