To love yourself <br />Is not selfish <br />But being a good steward. <br />Seek not the love of others <br />To make you whole. <br />But seek thine own love for thyself <br />From within thine own soul. <br />For if you know not <br />The love from within <br />You will not recognize <br />The true love from without. <br /> <br />Not selfish - but good stewards <br />....Over mind <br />....Over body <br />....Over soul <br />....Over the heart. <br /> <br />Love thyself that others may know how to love.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-yourself-5/
