Extend a hand to yourself
Helpful, tender and warm
Giving yourself a high-five
Doing yourself no harm
Raise both hands, disarm yourself
Feel peace from hands to heart
Show some enthusiasm
Before your day can start
Hug both shoulders give a squeeze
Close your eyes with a sigh
Feeling your love with each breath
Even if you cry
Entwine your fingers, press palms
In gratitude for
Having come this far
While still wanting more
Give yourself a round of applause
Feel the joy indeed
Perhaps a pat on your shoulder
May be all you need

Just a little piece about loving yourself, that it's ok to be your own best friend, to be accepting and tender toward oneself. Oscar Wild described loving ourselves as "the beginning of a lifelong romance".
