If, Then (Love Lessons)

If you don't believe you deserve it

Then you can neither give it

Nor receive it 

And all you experience 

Will be that mirror for you

Until you know 

Believe 

You are worthy 

That yes, indeed 

You are that precious 

And you could be that loved 

When the power

And the tenderness 

Of that truth 

Pierce your heart 

You know 

Regardless of anything else

That giving the ultimate love

Is the only way 

To receive it 

Give it to all 

Without exception 

Surrender to it 

And let it flow back to you 

It always does

This is love's way
