YOU When you care enough to give the very best ... Give it to yourself. Why not, you deserve it! Through all the times of tireless service to others, Isn't it odd how so often we forget to treat ourselves to The very same ... Push to the limit, strain to give your all, All for somebody else ... all for everybody else ... except You, yourself. Now, isn't that the craziest neglect! And sadly ironic: running yourself into the ground by Helping others (like a runaway train) will likely result In a lack of ability to help anyone, including yourself ... A mother must feed herself before she can feed her children. A generator must have its own power before it can power the City. As you would feed the body and keep it strong, Remember to strengthen your spirit as well ... Love each day For itself ... Let your character shine with its own light ... Don't invite disappointment by waiting for others to shine In return ... expect nothing back ... for their beacons may be Temporarily dim. Radiate your light in spite of that darkness And continue to shine from your inner strength ... You will be warmed, in turn, by your own reflection from Those whom you light. Be good to yourself ... Do for you ... Share the benefits Of your wisdom and experience with the one person who merits Them most -- You! As you care about others, care about you: It's allowed! Love them all who deserve it and remember to Love the lover, the one who deserves it most ... You. |
