Learn to love yourself, the rest will follow.
Learn to love,
because sometimes, it just doesn’t come naturally
Learn to love your legs,
because no matter how big you think they are
they still carry you to the place you need to be
Learn to love your eyes,
because they allow you to find glimpses inside the heart
and see the needs of others
Learn to love your hands
because even calloused and worn,
they can be instruments of beautiful works
Learn to love your feet
because even if they are rough and strange
they can run swiftly to carry good news
and protect your loved ones
Learn to love your smile
because even the most crooked teeth can say “I love you”
and unwittingly light up the loneliest heart
Learn to love your ears
because they allow you to listen to others
and give the hope that comes from hearing truth
Learn to love the unlovables,
because they need it more than anyone
and once you master this, you’ll love everyone
Learn to love vulnerably, at the risk of loss and hurt
because that is the only way to be free,
and there are always others reaching out on invisible limbs
to love you right back
Learn to love patiently, peacefully, unconditionally
Learn to love yourself,
because someone has always loved you.
