Hour 20- prompt

SELF LOVE
I am a woman
I am a mother, a sister, a daughter
I love myself, my family, and my friends.
I am passionate about many things
That is what makes me who I am today

I love the way I look in my new dress,
I love the simplicity on my face
I love the way I look in a photograph
Especially when my eyes are closed, and my smile is real.

I deserve unconditional love
I deserve the yummiest of food
I deserve my gold and diamonds
And Universe wants only my good

I am not perfect
I am not always right
But that does not mean
That others can hurt me with their nasty words and unnecessarily fight

Love your neighbour, love your spouse
Love your kids and even love your pet mouse
Most importantly, love yourself
Your health is your wealth
Your smile is worth millions
You are priceless.

One thought on “Hour 20- prompt

  1. What a beautiful, empowering poem! I love how the narrator expresses self-love, admits she’s not perfect, but “that does not mean/
    That others can hurt me with their nasty words and unnecessarily fight.” I think this was my favorite line: “Love your kids and even love your pet mouse”–it made me smile. Thanks for sharing!
