Spread it Like Jam

This entry is simple and just for you

It's about loving yourself and what you do

About taking the time, to enjoy your view

About accepting the differences, between me and you

Maybe taking those walks, put off for days

And expressing your desires in varying ways.

Make your tomorrows today, and your laters right now

Unleash your inner artist, some way, somehow

Loving thy neighbor and lending a hand

Teaching your doggy a new command

Wearing that color, you think is all wrong

Go to karaoke, pick a random song.

Support an organization, recycle, reuse

Turn the cannots into some can do's.

Give a compliment to a stranger, hold the door for a change

Try to smile instead of grimace, this world is your stage

Let the sunlight in, instead of shutting it out

When there's call for action, React without pouts.

Try a new recipe, cook something wild

Grab a coloring book, love your inner child

Watch a magic show, a circus will do

Catch the matinee at a theater near you.

Love the skin you're in, our flaws and all

Not everyone was meant to be skinny or tall.

Be an ear to be lent, let some steam off sometimes

Have a coffee or Boba, you've gotta unwind

Love the moment it takes to think about rest

An afternoon nap, when your schedule lets

Bake some goodies like cookies, maybe bake some loaves

Give the gift that keeps giving, it will come back in droves.

Stock is skyhigh, from Love's demand
Laugh as loud as your lungs can stand

Model your actions, with kindness and respect
Give out the Love, you plan to get
Love is the answer, Love is the key
Love is what binds us, you and me
Take time to be peaceful, put quarrels aside
Accept different cultures, with arms open wide
Make each day our best day, we can't go wrong
Hand in hand with Love, is where we belong.
Spread it like jam.
