I love myself
I am loved by others
I can do cool & important things
I am a holy creation
I am capable
To face whatever is next
If I love myself
I will love others in return
Praise be to God
For making me.

I love myself
I am loved by others
I can do cool & important things
I am a holy creation
I am capable
To face whatever is next
If I love myself
I will love others in return
Praise be to God
For making me.

If I could go back in time
Stand in front of the girl I once was
I wonder what I might say to her
I have compassion for all that she did not know
I feel frustrated at what she refused to learn
I long to embrace her
To let her know that she will grow, become strong
We would sit down for coffee
I would place my hand over hers
And ensure her that she is loved, capable, beautiful.
When she starts to give me rebuttals
About why my words aren’t true
I would snap my fingers in her face
Tell her to wake up and live in the present
Will I have this same moment – ten years from now
About who I am today?
Can I transcend to a higher plane
Without the foundation of time?
Many say they have no regrets.
I say there are moments that I would change.
Can I receive this with gratitude?
To know that what has gone wrong has value.
May I live today with thankfulness and patience
Giving myself grace for every version of me.

I’m not here
To soften all of your rough edges
They may be sharp to touch
That danger doesn’t scare me away.
Some will be weathered
By my love over time
Maybe some will be sanded
To a needle-like point
Together we make
The most beautiful range of peaks.
