I fell in love with this poem over 20 years ago. It remains a long time favorite and a timely reminder with Valentine’s Day around the corner. No matter if you have a special someone in your life or not.
No need to dread the hearts n flowers, sugary sweet holiday, if you use it to launch your own love campaign. NO need to wait for anyone to tell you how abso-freakin-lutely, WONDER-full YOU ARE!
RUN – Don’t walk to have this talk with yourself! Use this poem as a springboard for your own love letter to include whatever you want & need to hear. Use it each morning & night to remind lovely, wonderful you, that’s there’s no one, and never will be anyone,quite like you! xoxoxo
Time Somebody Told Me by Quantedius Hall (10 year old)
Time Somebody Told Me
That I am lovely, good and real
That I am beautiful inside
If they only knew
How that would make me feel.
Time Somebody Told Me
That my mind is quick, sharp
and full of wit
That I should keep on trying
and never quit.
Time Somebody Told Me
How they loved and needed me
How my smile is filled with hope
and my spirit sets them free
How my eyes shine, full of light
How good they feel when they hug me tight.
Time Somebody Told Me
So, I had a talk with myself
Just me, nobody else
’cause it was time
Somebody Told Me.
