With every saturated step
I want my feet sinking in purpose
My heart-beat thumping in joy
and my thought-life flowing with peace
I no longer look to be pleased
I do not feel entitled
I no longer search for someone to make me happy
No one owes me anything
I owe myself respect and goodness
Therefore
Today I am love
I am not a frog on a log
waiting to be discovered by a princess
My charm, laughter, kindness and smile
is not waiting on a kiss to be unlock
Today in light of Love
My spirit is free
With breath in this body
I aim to be all I was created to be
No people pleasing tragedy
Today I will pay me
Cause only I can be me
poetically and uniquely
offering myself generosity…
Now
Treat yourself…the way
you think someone should treat you
and watch how lovely you will become!

“Today I am” happy to be reading a poem by you. One word came to mind when reading your poem: contentment. What a wonderful feeling – happy to just be. 💖

Michele♥️, Today I am glad to be read by you! I am glad the poem came off with contentment. Too many times we want others to accept us and we have not accepted ourselves. So, I appreciate you picking up on that🙏♥️ Stay safe, creative and beautiful😍

I’m opening myself up to date this year and my daughter asked me how it was going? I told her, “I’m willing to kiss a lot of frogs to get to the one who is worthy.” 🐸
