If we don’t care for our lives
We won’t be able to care for others
Nor can we handle our own grieves

If we don’t care for ourselves
Then our strength will deplete quickly
Leaving us lying on the shelves

We must stand for our well-being
Or we’ll quickly fade away
Life is not an easy undertaking

Our lives must be taking into consideration
Even when we have to take care of others
Or our well-being will face deterioration

Take care of yourself today
It’s perfectly all right to think about “you”
Because others feel the same way

Why we should care for our lives

In order to love yourself
You need to know who you are
The whole planet can love itself
Because self-love is not that far

Self-love begins in our self-esteem
Low self-worth can contribute to insecurity
Others can negatively affect our esteem
Which may influence our sense of security

Don’t worry about what others think
Their perceptions of you should not matter
Negativity may cause some to rethink
What you think of yourself is smarter

Try to find good in you; it’s there
Love and cherish yourself daily
To yourself, you must always be fair
Love yourself honorably and freely

You are a beautiful flower
One you should cherish and appreciate
Delicate, but rich in natural power
You’re the product of love, abundance and faith

How To Love Yourself

We need to know why we got lost in the first place
And what we’re are planning to do in this new space
There may have been uncertainties we could not face

Maybe, this is a good road for us to navigate
There may be a reason we choose this new gate
We should start searching inside and investigate

Sometimes, we do need to follow a different trail
We’re the only ones who know when we feel frail
From time to time, we do need to hang unto a rail

At times, our pain may cause a mental disappearance
Which may cause our souls to request a severance
But, there’s always hope for a major reappearance

If we don’t like this road we are now traveling
We have a choice because our spirits are unyielding
With faith in our hearts, the future can be unraveling

How To Find Our Way

I should live two hundred years
To do all that I wish to do
As I follow my journey without fears

I should live two hundred years
There aren’t enough hours in the day
To appreciate all of our spheres

I should live two hundred years
There are too many humans to love
Who will wipe away their tears?

I should live two hundred years
I have too many stories to tell
As I experience many great frontiers

I should live two hundred years
In order to touch as many souls as possible
So my voice could bring joy into their ears

I should live two hundred years
Maybe I could try to stop the time
I may even live a thousand years

I Should Live Two Hundred Years

I pretend he’s a sweet clown
And he’s laughing with me
I try to avoid his shakedown
By allowing my heart to be free

I don’t consent to his breakdown
Because I don’t take him too serious
Therefore, he can’t get me down
He can never cause me to be furious

Mr. Life wants us to slow down
Sometimes, he’ll test our courage
To protect us from a major lockdown
An anguish may sometimes be a message

A message may protect us from an ugly frown
We should know how to deal with Mr. life
So we may look forward to a pretty sundown
