What a different world I’d see
A different view I’d have of me
What a better one I’d be
If I loved me, like my dog
Content and happy, just to be
In the same room next to me
No body else I’d rather see
If I loved me, like my dog
If I saw me the way she does
I’d be happy with me, just because
No one could ever fill my paws
If I loved me, like my dog
Secure in following my lead
I’d be everything I need
Never doubt my ability
If I could learn to love me, like my dog

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

This is like such an awesome poem to promote self love!
I loved this! Well written!!
The world would be a better place if we could all see ourselves as our dogs see us. (Except for those who don't like dogs. Maybe we could choose something else for them.)
