Be good to yourself— <br />You deserve it. <br /> <br />Take care of yourself, <br />While you're here. <br />No one else can do it <br />Better than you. <br /> <br />Hold yourself up. <br />Don't be your worst enemy <br />Or a 'self hater'— <br />Like some love to do. <br /> <br />Live and enjoy life. <br />Look in the mirror and smile. <br />Believe that good things <br />Will happen for you. <br /> <br />Be grateful that you were <br />A candidate for life. <br />And let such gratitude <br />Show. <br /> <br />Make the best choices for yourself. <br />Exercise. Rest. <br />And eat properly. <br />For on such things the body thrives. <br /> <br />Love yourself, <br />And then you can love others too. <br />Serenade you with a song. <br />Honor YOU with a poem. <br /> <br />And like an old friend that you <br />Would visit every now and then, <br />Take care of 'yourself.' <br />For you shall not pass this way again.<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-good-to-yourself-3/
