love yourself

I have learned to love myself
The importance of my story
To have insight you must know
All about yourself
That will take understanding
Of your personality
In seeking wisdom I found
A surprising joy
Good information
From trustworthy resources
Makes a difference
I looked for models
For those who celebrate life
Who don’t live in fear
In searching I found
Good people who love themselves
They’re the best givers
When you love yourself
You can “get over yourself”
See through new glasses
A seed in the ground
When it’s properly cared for
Bears beautiful fruit
A life that’s cared for
When it is buried in love
Bears beautiful fruit

Your Story Matters 
I love the imagery in the last three lines.
