No one will treat you
As good as you can
Be kind to yourself
Talk nicely all day
Be humble
Pause a moment
Before you reply
Write that email
As if you were receiving it
Add smiles, where appropriate
Laugh at yourself
Life is tough enough
Relax from the jaw, shoulders, back
Let that tenseness fall into the earth
Inhale slowly, breath deeply
Hold it for a few seconds
Before you release it
Deflate that stress
Hug puppies and kittens
They are all still babies at heart
No matter their age
Realize everyone has their own issues
Don't battle yourself
You are a warrior
Stand tall and strong
Even if shaking inside
Speak with volume
So not having to repeat
Put on God's armor
With His love in your heart.
