I Heard a Man Say

 I heard a man say

“If I don’t care about myself

What makes you think that

I care about you?”

I sat down on the stool of thought

And thought for a while

Then I turned to the man

And with a great big smile

Said, “I guess I thought you did

Because, just like me

You are GOD’s child.

And, too, never forget that

There’s coming a judgment day

Where you will have to give 

Account of everything you do

And everything you say.”

I love me, so I must love you.
