Sunrise behind a mountain with clouds in front

Love yourself first.
Say good morning to your soul.
Remind her that you are but a speck.
A part of the wide open seas,
All the vast green and gold prairies
The molecules in the oxygen that gives us breath.

You are in the tiny buds of the millions of trees.
On each tree on every mountain,
In all the forests,
In the coconuts and mangos in the groves,
In the jungles, and on the beaches.

Hello, world, you say.
Meet me.
Love me.
Welcome me.
As I welcome you.
