Greeting my best friend

I came across this poem, 'Love After Love' by Derek Walcott, and I liked it so much I am sharing it here. Actually, the poem inspired me to stand in front of the mirrow and speak to myself as if I were my best friend....I was amazed at the things I said, and the powerfullness of the emotions that I felt.....It was a powerful, and wonderful and comforting and enjoyable experience.....try it for yourself and you will know.....

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
