I Am Proud of You — A Poem
Please don’t put yourself down when you’re having one of those days.
In the morning light, you rise anew,
Facing challenges, both old and new.
Some days may feel heavy, burdened with strife,
But you keep showing up, embracing life.
Don’t shame yourself for the days that seem tough,
For every effort you give is enough.
Yesterday’s best does not define you now,
Each day is different, so take a bow.
Take time and space for your weary soul,
Admit when you need that extra care, that’s your goal.
It’s okay to not have it all together,
Embrace imperfection, for it’s your tether.
If today feels tough, honor where you stand,
Tend to yourself with love, take a gentle hand.
Commit to self-love, even on imperfect days,
For you are worthy, in so many ways.
You are strong, resilient, and inherently deserving,
Of unconditional love, for yourself, keep serving.
Embrace your journey, with all its ups and downs,
For you are enough, in your very own bounds.
Hope you liked the poem.
Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and let hope guide you through doubt. You have the strength to overcome challenges and succeed. This is what Dancing Elephant author Leah Lynch has beautifully described in her poem.
