You Must Love Yourself First

To fully enjoy life, you must love yourself.
So dust your dendrites and jump off the shelf.
In order to neutralize your angst and strife, 
You must love yourself, to fully enjoy your life. 

Within your sweet heart your secrets are solid and secure.
Keep them innocent and keep them protected and pure.
Loving yourself unconditionally is what will keep you apart. 
Your secrets are solid and secure within your sweet heart. 

Self-approval and full actualization -your ultimate life goal.
Living your empowering truth nurtures your spirit soul. 
Idealistic living and nirvana can be an actual factualization.
Your ultimate life goal – self approval and full actualization. 

Keep an open heart and inspire others to enhance your truth.
Loving yourself first will be the role modeling living proof. 
To honor your kinsmen, relatives, fathers and empathetic mothers,
To enhance your truth, keep an open heart and inspire others.
