In honor of Valentine’s Day, here’s a little reminder of the love within each of us.
Whether I’m fat, thin, tall, short,
Smaller or bigger thighs,
Wrinkles or supple skin,
I am love.
Whether I am wearing exhaustion like a faded, tattered robe
Or my cheeks are rosy and my eyes well-rested,
I am love.
Whether I’ve had salad or two brownies
Worked out or not,
Checked off my to-do list
Or lost productivity in the wind,
I am love.
Whether I’ve laughed, cried
Or felt the fury of a thousand disappointments,
Made a mini or gargantuan mistake,
I am love.
Whether I’ve surpassed or never satisfied my expectations,
Lost weight, gained weight, no change
I am love.
Whether life is going swimmingly
Or I’m drowning in a sea of stress,
Whether it feels like everyone is ahead of the game,
But me,
I am love.
Whether I can touch my toes or lift 10 lb. weights,
Whether I can stop the slimy stories from swirling in my head,
Or buckle under their overwhelming power,
I am love.
Size, shape, situation,
Appearance, achievements,
Doesn’t matter,
I am love.
I am love.
I am always love.
