Note to myself

In progress

Dear self,

 

Remember to wear your smile today

even though you're tired and beat

Be nice to the ones who aren't so nice

Keep standing on those tired feet.

 

When someone doesn't appreciate you

that's ok because you know you still do

Sometimes simply loving yourself

Is the best thing you could possibly do

 

You are kind, gentle, loving and sweet

you care about others above yourself

Your worth being alive and feeling the sun

never put your thoughts or dreams on that shelf

 

Smile today; you're worth it!

Author's Note

I had more to say to myself than I thought. :)

Wonderful message for all of us to remember. I really liked this poem and have just one suggestion. "Smile today; your worth it!" should read "you're (you are) worth it!" Nice work! Here's my smile. :-) Sharon
