Treat people the way you want to be treated. ~The Golden Rule
Easier Said Than Done
Learn to treat
yourself with kindness, because other people
might not. Believe the
truth contained in your heart. Get out of your own way
and become the person you
were meant to be. If you want
to, you can fix what’s broken. You can be the one to
make sure every injury will be
treated.

This might be my favorite poem you've written this month. I love the message and the admonition to treat oneself well. I also love the title.
ReplyDeleteI don't always comment Mary Lee, but I am always in awe of how you write these profound poems!
ReplyDeleteWe never really do remember the number one reason to treat ourselves well, do we? If only I had learned THIS as a kid.
ReplyDeleteNo, Tanita, we do not. if only. I was all sure that Mary Lee wrote this for a kid who wants to be a doctor, but really she wrote it for me....
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, this one gives me shivers all over....
