Put Yourself First

Poem about learning to put yourself first.

Everyday that you wake up, is a day that is God given.

So live that day to the fullest,

and be thankful you're among the living.

Use this time to do the things you have always wanted to do.

Go out with a friend, have some fun, enjoy a hobby or two.

Enjoy yourself as long as you can,

for nobody knows when their time will end.

So why waste your time on pitying yourself.

Change that attitude and put that pitying on the shelf.

Distract yourself with fun things to do,

when you're down and feeling blue

Call a friend if you need to talk,

Maybe see if they want to go for a walk.

Do what you can to change your mood.

Put yourself first, it's not being rude.

You can't always put others first.

For if you do, eventually your bubble will burst.

That is when you'll spiral down.

That beautiful smile will turn into a frown.

Remember, you are just as important, as anybody else.

So as often as you can, put yourself first

and put the others on the back on the shelf.

[John the Baptist]

Indeed, carpe diem; seize the day. For who can say if there will be another one?
