KINDNESS BEGINS WITH SELF-LOVE


 “Acceptance, understanding, I can Give, to others, If I First will love myself. But if my bucket's leaking like a Sieve – no juice fer Me or anybody else! Unhelpful habits must be overcome, and loving me could really help me win; since self-abuse and cruelty are dumb, Lord, Help me now ta practice Peace within! The self-neglect has really gotta go, so, Heaven, Help me, please, ta care fer Me! In love fer me, each day, please, help me grow, and kind ta others, I will surely be!”
