In the mirror of time, your reflection does dwell,
Remember, dear heart, to treat yourself well.
For in life's grand journey, through calm and through strife,
The constant companion you have is your heart.
Rise with the sun, with purpose anew,
Show up for yourself, be honest, and be true.
In the quiet of night, under the moon's gentle spell,
Whisper your dreams, to yourself they do tell.
In the face of adversity, when shadows cast,
Remember your strength, learned from the past.
When the world turns its back, when friends are few,
Stand tall, stand proud, for you only have you.
In the canvas of life, you're the artist, the brush,
In the symphony of existence, the quiet will hush.
Paint with bold strokes, let your melody swell,
For the story you're writing, only you can tell.
So, keep showing up, in sunshine or rain,
In joy and in sorrow, in pleasure and pain.
though the journey is long, you will eventually gain,
But remember, dear heart, you are enough.
