Ye must know thine own self first,
     before he may knoweth another.
Ye must trust thine own self first,
     before ye may trusteth another.
Ye must love thine own self first,
     before ye may loveth another.

Before ye be able to giveth
and receiveth love,
ye must know, trust, and love
thine ownself first.

Love it! Everyone seems to be posting straight from the Victorian Age today! I feel right at home! Great poem.

Mr. T. ~

I read the "good book" from the Alpha to the Omega--Genesis to Revelations--when I was a teenager ~ and that was many moons ago!

Have a wonderful day, Dear Man of Wonder!

Great tune....should be at the head of the class.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Linda Lou, I totally believe this, too. I have always said that if someone doesn't love themselves, they are incapable of loving someone else.

You know what, I've read the Bible all the way through a few times, too. I figured if I could read books thicker than the Bible, I could certainly read the Good Book all the way through, too. It is full of good reading, isn't it?
Hugs to you, sweet Lady
