Loving Yourself

A "Love in 50 Words" Challenge Entry

By Adora HooperPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Tonight I peered into the mirror...

I'm seeking a younger child who's lost!

Dejected breathing, pondering if...

that inner child is forever lost?

Intensely, yearningly to enclose

that lost little girl I used to be,

just squeezing her in the biggest hug;

'fore my whisper, "yourself you can be."

I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy

than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:

"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL
