Love yourself—
the way you’ve always wished
someone else would.
Gift your soul with kindness,
shower your heart with care.
Nurture your mind,
your body,
your spirit—
you are sacred everywhere.
Smile—not just with lips,
but with your whole heart;
a happy face
holds the magic
to heal and to start.
Every hardship,
every tear—
is the price we pay
for blessings we once whispered
in silent prayer.
Don’t look too long at people—
they're just passing roles,
side characters
in the story
you alone control.
It’s you, your dreams,
your quiet fire inside.
Only by walking
through the tunnel’s night,
will you find the reason
for its dark,
and your light.
Why did you pass through
that hollow, heavy hole?
You’ll find the answers—
the meaning, the goal.
And if no answers come,
then just live—
that alone
may be the only purpose
God gifted you.
You’ve come a long way,
life after life—
so staying alive
might itself
be the light.
