Thank you again for all the comments. Everyone sure gives a person much to think about in the comment area...around the issue of showing affection, loving unconditionally and raising children with strong self images.
Now, while this poem definitely reflects the many children/youth that I see around me....the poem was actually written based on an adult. Who has been growing more secure every day with recieving affection....affection that as a child somehow was missed.
So it does come around in a circle...childhood, youth, adult. :-)
...and wonderful comments and insight from everyone, thank you. Very true, unconditional love given often does turn a person around. For when one is loved without conditions, one may then begin to see the beauty within and love self. At the least, it confuses the heck out of someone who is trying so hard to be "solid, strong and without feelings." **g**
John, you've known me for awhile now **smiling** Would I suffer from such low self esteem? Nah...this is based on truth, only it's not my truth, rather the truth of another.
WOW! Bev! I LOVED THIS! I know this is poetic etc. etc. etc...... but if you were saying this for real I would say, "Love yourself Bev"
For loving yourself brings out the best in one, others pick up on that good feeling thus joining in on it.
A great write,
Welcome !
