Love Yourself

Love yourself and you can paint
the things you dream or touch.
Let self doubt never taint
the budding artists brush.

Trust yourself and you can be
a poet like the rest,
Just have a go and you may see
You’re up there with the best

Like yourself and you might find
skills you’ve yet to discover
or talents left way behind,
so go seek out another

Value you and you can claim
the life that you pursue.
There’s love out there it’s got your name
Go find! its up to you.

A happy self will tend to bring
good things to their side,
so paint, write, laugh and sing
there is no time to hide.

No more self demeaning
Nor endless self denial
I hope you get my meaning
As death in this life’s final.

What comes next
Can ne`er be told
so do your best 
go on be bold.
