True happiness we will
truly fail to find
Unless to love ourselves
and to us, we are kind
For before we can,
another ever love
We have to love this one
God made from up above
Looking into the mirror
who's reflection we do see
Standing there in front of us,
is only YOU or ME
We are each and every one,
special and unique
Remember to be kind to yourself,
and always gently speak
If we try to find true happiness
on this earth here below
We must love OURSELVES first,
for real happiness to know

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh Ethel, this is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I believe in this with all my heart as I used to hate myself because I felt no one loved me but since I believe God held me back from suicide attempt, He taught me to love myself and loving myself has made so many others see the beauty in me and love me too! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes, Noah, I do feel that if we love ourselves, and what
God has made us to be, then others will love us, too. If we
don't accept who we are, then it's hard for others to accept us.

This is a wonderful poem, Ethel. And, so true. But, I will have to love myself without looking in the mirror.

Only when we are happy with ourselves can we make others happy. Very nice writing, Ethel

Sue, why do you think that? Every woman has something beautiful about them (and men have something about them that's good-looking, too.
