If You Cannot Love Yourself

If you cannot love yourself you cannot love anyone
That is what the wise mother did say to her son
When she overheard him saying to himself i do not love me
With her wise words to him i have to agree
To love self your praises to others you do not have to sing
Since that is more like narcissism to self love a different thing
The person who loves self is one who loves all of humankind
And to compassion and empathy are that way inclined
The person of self love never bears a grudge
And never sees fit to be anyone's judge
I have so much to learn but this i do know
That true love of self to love of others does grow
Like the wise mother's words of advice to her masochistically inclined son
If you cannot love self you cannot love anyone.
