Respect Poem by Bob Gibson

Respect

Rating: 5.0


Self esteem! that's the same as self respect
The value we place on ourselves, is to that affect

That person in the mirror, of the image are you proud?
Can you look it in the eye? or is it hiding behind a cloud

Respect is not something we are born with! it is a lesson taught
Not something that's bandied around, and cannot be bought

Learn to love that image, learn to love that smile,
When we learn to love ourselves, we can walk that extra mile

Look after your body, and be sure to feed your mind
And take some time out for yourself, to yourself be kind

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

They say unless we learn to love ourselves (and respect too no doubt) we can't have a decent relationship with another. It is a poem that speaks words of wisdom and thank you for reminding me about respect! 10 Karin Anderson
