Love Yourself

One day

we will all see it

What we can't see now.

Today someone woke up and said:

"I am too fat."

or

"I am too skinny."

Tomorrow someone will say:

"My hips are so big"

or

"I need to eat less."

Next week someone will say:

"I need a smaller nose."

or

"I wish I never did that to myself."

Next month someone will say:

"I'm too ugly"

or

"I'm too tall."

But,

years later

when they are 80 and breaking

they will realize,

That they were fine they way that they were.

They could walk without pain.

They didn't have a cabinet full of medications.

They could live alone without fear.

Now that they are 80,

they can love themselves.
