By Dede H.

I take care of myself
It may seem selfish
I know I’ve thought
that of others

If I take care of myself
I can take care of others
Put the oxygen mask
on first and now

Being mindful
Being aware
Being present
helps me to care

I can be little now
I can be big
when I need to
My Higher Power
is the gig

Why people please?
Why give you crumbs
Little dead trees
When I may awaken
your soul with my own
