Love Poem: Every Action Matters

Every Action Matters

Act as if your actions matter
you have no idea
how much they really do

It’s a slippery slope
when you decide
you’re not worth
giving your best effort

You deserve
to get up early
to take in the sunrise

You deserve putting on
your best runners to
walk along the parkway

You deserve to take
a few moments
to stop for that
perfect nature photo

You deserve walking
an extra five minutes
to eat your lunch
by the beach

You deserve to stop
everything for a half-hour
to soak in a bath

You deserve 
turning off the lights
to sit and meditate
by candlelight

You deserve to love yourself
because you truly are
your own best friend
