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. [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-24-2003 02:23 PM).] |

Love it! Everyone seems to be posting straight from the Victorian Age today! I feel right at home! Great poem. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

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 Ethel |
