This one was inspired by my friend, Lew's comment as to the reason why it is difficult to love each other: "We can't really love ourselves..."
You, Yes You by h. lena jones You, yes you Come, let�s have chat I keep hearing that you Cannot love another because You just simply cannot love yourself Why pray tell do you do yourself such injustice? Do you dislike yourself because you�re not pretty? Hey, that�s a temporary state of being Old age soon fixes that for all! Do you dislike yourself because you�re too chubby? Well, just think how those with anorexia must feel! Do you dislike yourself because you�re not wealthy? Remember the wealthy hardly enjoy peace of mind! Do you dislike yourself because you don�t have pretty clothes? Good heavens, that�s not important Clothes do not the person make! Don�t let the shell hold you hostage With its lies about your worth You are a beautiful soul Created by God for a reason He judges not by how you look But by the state of mind within So whatever it is That makes you unable to love yourself Make it your duty, from this day on To awake each morning with Praise and thanks to God For indeed He has Created you in love Filled you with love To love as He loves! Now that you are able to madly love yourself Loving others should be a cinch Regardless of who they are! �So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.� (Genesis 1:27KJV)

"Don�t let the shell hold you hostage

With its lies about your worth

Now this moved me good Lena.

Too few love each other in this bloody world. They wait for the other to do something so they can react. And then if they don't like what you do, then they get even.

How did it ever become so skewed?

Lena,

I needed to see this today; at times I feel unlovely, but I know God loves me. I must learn to do the same! Very good message in this one; brava, Lena!

You do me great honor. Your poem is one that many should study.
Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." That is not easy if you do not love yourself. What then can you give to another?
God Bless,
Lew
