Love Yourself...I Do! Poem by David Whalen

I love myself…in and of this very moment

I will be what I can be
In and of this very moment

For this very moment
Is all that truly exists

Yesterday… no more than a memory
An fading echo in the mist

Tomorrow…only an expectation
Of what our mind thinks is to yet to be

Tomorrow…a figment of our imagination
That we may never come to see

The choice is mine
To be mellow…to have bliss

I’ll not belittle myself
Nor hold myself remiss

Today I’ll see and recognize
Only things worthy and good

For in this moment, I realize
Of what not to value…and of what I should

Today…yes this very moment
I’ll like me…and I’ll persist

For this very precious moment…right now
Is all that truly…exists

Love yourself…forgive yourself
live in and of… this very moment
