The Power of Self-Compassion

In the depths of our souls, we find a treasure untold

A power so profound, a force to behold

It is the gift of self-compassion, a love so pure

That can heal all wounds, and make us endure

In a world so cruel, where judgments abound

Where we're told we're not enough, that we're unworthy and bound

It's easy to lose sight of the light within

To forget our worth, to give in to mistake

But in the silence of our hearts, if we listen close

We'll hear a gentle whisper, like a delicate rose

It tells us that we're valued, that we're enough

That despite our faults, we're worthy of love

Self-compassion is a balm for the soul

A soothing salve that makes us whole

It reminds us to be kind to ourselves

To forgive our mistakes, to lift ourselves from the shelves

For when we show ourselves compassion and care

We're better able to handle life's wear and tear

We can face our challenges with grace and strength

Knowing that within us lies a boundless length

So let us embrace this gift so rare

Let us treat ourselves with love and care

For in the power of self-compassion, we find

The strength to heal, the courage to shine.
