These days, I am taking time
My sweet time to love myself
In my honest opinion, that’s not a crime
To pamper, to love my dear self
My hard-working body and my beautiful mind.
I will stop looking behind
I will concentrate on tomorrow
And stay far away from grief, sorrow
Regret, nostalgia and nonsense
I am going to spray a bottle of incense
Full of love, compassion, sweetness
Good humor, gentleness, and kindness
Everywhere that I go, on everything that I see
I am going to shine, fly, and walk on the sea.
No, I am not dreaming, not hallucinating
And of course not on drugs. I am living
Loving, and enjoying my life, my way.
I am living. I am flying, flying away
Without lifting my body, without hurting myself
I am enjoying everything under the sun
Everything under the moon. I am having fun
I am truly loving and enjoying my dear self.
I am not worrying about anybody
Who neither loves me nor cares about me
I am in love with Mother Nature
I am working on myself, improving my posture
These days, I am taking my sweet time
To live, love, and enjoy; and that’s not a crime.

Beautifully said my friend...a worthy goal to love oneself. Oftentimes not the easiest of things to learn to do. ~Sharon
