Love Yourself

Dont be afraid to love you

Your infinite worth is not up to you

Given by G-D it can never change

Nothing and noone has the power of exchange

You knock your worth when you feel you loose

For no matter what you always have the ability to choose

We mourn deeds that we have done

Torture ourselves about words said supposedly in fun

Giving ourselves over to guilt as if there is no sun

Allow yourself to love you

Not the choices that have made you blue

Take your heart and shatter the stone

Realize that no matter what you are not alone

G-d's faith in you has always been strong

Trust G-D and with you, start to get along

Your past is not your prison

See past the dark and appreciate the prism

As no matter the colors in your life this night

They will all eventually come together as white

So love yourself and gain the sight

That you are always worth the fight.

Learn to Smile

When you think of yourself learn to smile

Even if it takes effort and the longest while

Don't add excuses to a needless pile

for then upside down goes your smile

,the smallest things suddenly get to you

and what is false starts to ring true

your mistakes are gifts that can make you wise

so you don't lose perspective to self pity and lies

yours is a Divinely forged beauty that noone can take away

As long as hope remains your mainstay

Love yourself so you see the love you have to give

living a life that wants you to live

So do not let life's gym take away your smile

G-D knows you are worth the effort so put in the extra mile

Cherishing Our Fallen

How do we comfort the family of our fallen

How do we fill their perpetual void

Who could sit in a chair that will always be empty

How do we collect the tears that randomly appear

Maybe we could make our hearts so big inside

So that all the fallen will have a place to reside

Remembering always what they gave up in order to give

So that we may be safe and have a passion to live

Hugging each day where they no longer stay

Not letting ego get in the way

Full of gratitude and a will to aspire

Living a life that these heroes inspire

So close and not really far

So many travel far to find themselves

So many look in places filled with danger

So that to themselves they may no longer be a stranger

So many look for themselves in another and always compare

So that they need not look in a mirror avoiding a scare

Years are lost in the hypnotic belief

That to look elsewhere will bring relief

Would that their efforts were spent in learning

That they are beautifully unique worthy of their yearning

Their search would turn inward with passion and a warning

"Authenticity ahead , open your heart and find your new morning"
