What I like about myself

I appreciate the little things

Like the extra time it took for you to walk with me

Your “hello” in the morning and your calls in the night

I appreciate the snow that falls, the flowers that bloom

The sun that sets and the grass that grows

I like how everything has a story

How we’re a small part of a greater whole

I like this part of me that understands what it means

See past the hurt, the fear, and the hate

I like how my appreciation for everything under the sun makes it easier to breathe
