There is great beauty there
a friend, a great person, a kind and loving soul

I hear my own words of wisdom
that I deserve all the good that life offers

So I give myself permission to receive
and give to life the gift of receiving

And I complete the cycle by choosing
to live a life filled with peace and joy and ease

I nurture myself, I honor myself, I love myself
as I reflect upon the beauty of my soul.

John T. Gotz
