In life’s vast classroom, lessons unfold,
Teaching wisdom, precious and gold.
A recent chapter, a poignant tale,
Of self-love learned, a ship set to sail.
To love oneself before others we guide,
A truth to embrace, not to let slide.
For in our pain, our loved ones feel,
Hurting them deeply, wounds that don’t heal.
To heal oneself, a skill to acquire,
Time, the gentle mender, the heart’s desire.
Kindness and generosity, virtues profound,
Give healing its time, on gentle ground.
In this journey of self-discovery,
No guide but self, a lone odyssey.
Yet, in the quiet, a voice I find,
Jesus, my solace, in whom I confide.
So, let the lessons of life unfold,
A symphony of growth, a story told.
To love oneself, the foundation firm,
In this sacred journey, a lifelong term.
