A Poem I wrote about a year ago.

I give away my love to everyone
When it is time to love me, I have none

When I see your face, I can’t help but grin
But look in the mirror, where do I begin?

I’m getting old; my hair is turning grey
“That really shouldn’t matter” is all they say.

I weigh too much and hate the way I look
I can’t help it; I am really a great cook.

I don’t like the freckles or the age spots
Freckles are for kids, and age spots are not.

I try over and over to love me
But loving myself is not that easy.

I know God loves me, which should be enough
I’m told that’s plenty, but it’s still too tough.

It’s easy to love people so freely
How can I love everyone…except me?


I am feeling better about myself and loving me a little more each day.
