*****************************************************************

I approve of you, in all that you are,
All that you will be and all that you've been.
I approve of you, more than myself sometimes,
All that you are, compared to me.
I approve of you, even when not deserved,
I'll still believe there's some way, you're better by far.
Now it's time for me to approve myself, it's long overdue,
All that I am, is worth it.

If you are guilty, like me, of always being able to see the good in others, even when they don't always deserve it, yet unable to extend the same kindness to yourself, then I feel you!  This is something I'm trying to work on.  Being more understanding and kind to myself.  I deserve my own approval.  You do too.
