Today, I promise not to beat myself up
to stress about things I cannot control
Today, I promise to give myself a pat on the back
to protect my heart and cherish my soul
It is all too easy to find fault with ourselves
It’s a world where people want to lay blame
Few acknowledge the gifts in others
Many find joy in other people’s shame
But today, I promise that I will look in the mirror
and see the person God made me to be
A person filled with talents, compassion and joy
A person filled with love is what I want others to see
Make a promise to open your heart
Make a promise to love without condition
Pledge that you will conquer your fears and self-doubt
and bring your hopes and dreams to fruition
Most of all promise, that you will allow love in your life
Promise to let love be your inspiration
Hold onto that love; it will lead you down the right path
It will provide you the strength to find your true destination
