Some feel love's
so far away
But my friends
long ago I learned
that the most
direct path to love
is loving oneself first
Search your heart
for the child
you used to be
hug it
kiss it
pamper it
tell it how much you
love him
Then look in the mirror
be happy at what you see
because you're
witnessing
love that will
forvever be

(smiles) The beauty of love always shines in our hearts, and as long as we cherish and love the child and beauty in each of us and love ourselves, we will bring happiness to a true love that He prepares for each of us. (sigh) True love will forever be if you believe in it! (smiles) This is soooooo beautiful, you are always sooooooo romantic, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This is so very true. One must love themself before they can love someone else.

walker... Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day lives - work, relationships, school - that we forget how to, or we don't have time to, love ourselves. Thank you for reminding us all about the little part inside of each of us that can help us to remember.
