Array ( [sid] => 180672 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To Love Yourself [time] => 2015-03-01 15:16:23 [hometext] => By: E. Wayne Searles [bodytext] =>

I love myself
don’t worry, I love you too
Your love is very important to me
without it I would not know what to do

Loving myself is important
it is what makes me whole
It is what I must do
to keep myself in total control

True love is an addiction
an addiction that makes me feel
It opens up my senses
allowing you my heart to steal

Loving myself is a potion
that creates more than just a ripple in a pond
It allows me to have affection toward others
like the wave of a magical wand

More love in this world
would bring more happiness to others
It would bring us all closer together
more like sisters and brothers

Now you know
what loving oneself can do
It’s your turn to show
how much you truly love you

It will open your heart with feeling
lessen the stress you have inside
If you don’t know love and affection
hold on, because you’re in for a ride

One cannot truly love another without first loving their self.
It's a requirement of life to allow for a happy ending and story.
It's a powerful characteristic to have, and essential to secure the ends.
Without it, we're at the mercy of the hands that hold our hearts.
Forever at risk, of having our state of being
Ripped and torn apart.

Great write Wayne. :)
