What a wonderful way to begin your New Year. I know I was a total jerk before I decided to let The Lord lead me. I am thankful you have found a better way to love.

Yes, Jim, this sets the New Year right for me. I love myself completely now. I've learned from the past and have moved on to the present.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jesse, I really enjoyed this poem. Yes, sometimes we have to take a good look at ourselves and who we really are. You have done that and I admire you it takes courage. Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful poem with us. Ulla:)))

Another fine poem, Jesse......it's so true, as I get older I look back at the younger me and shake my head. The things I used to think were important didnt mean Jack. I wouldn't trade places with my younger self for anything--I take that back, if I could take the knowledge from now with me, I would trade

Agreed, Mike. Take the knowledge and wisdom from now and bring it with you to long ago when we were younger. A good trade.
Thanks for all your support, my friend.

We can become the best version of ourselves with the help of family and friends - if we allow it. It's a choice. And it sounds like you made the right one - leaving mistakes of the past behind. Bravo!

One must love themselves before they can fully love someone else. I enjoyed reading this poem. My prayer for you is that you have a very blessed New Year. My prayers continue for you.

This is beautifully written and it flows very well when it is read aloud if only more people would understand that they need to be a better person today than they were yesterday. I am so glad that you have a resolution for your own life. May you have a wonderful year and may God bless you as you continue to write. Patricia.
BTW, if you will go back and click at the bottom of your post and then do I delete for two or three times you will find you won't have so much empty space at the bottom of your post.

Jesse,
This is truly a wonderful poem.
I guess it's true that we have to love ourselves before we can love others.
I'm so glad you reached this pinnacle in your life as expressed in your poem.
Have a very successful new year, Jesse.
Keep your great positive attitude,
Blessings,
Cindy

I'm sure everyone could find something inside themselves that needs changing. Beginning a new year with such determination will surely do the trick. You've come a long way, it seems, and I can't help but admire you for doing so. Well done, my friend, and Happy, Healthy 2025! :) Sandra xxx
