I was looking in the mirror and noticed
some beautiful love handles growing
I pinched them and I laughed
As I would if I was looking at my young daughter
…
I was looking in the mirror and noticed the chunk of my thighs
I shook them and gave them a whirl
It felt so good to jiggle
As it does looking at a chunky precious giggling baby
…
I was looking in the mirror and noticed a few more wrinkles
Than there were there yesterday
I remembered laughing with my daughters
A lot today
…
I was looking in the mirror and noticed circles under my eyes
I remembered being up at night thinking
How I can make this world a better place
I relaxed and I smiled a quiet smile to myself
…
I realized just then
That I forgot how to hate myself
I hope you do too
