"The ABC Song of Loving Yourself"

This song was found when I was cleaning out a file of songs I taught years ago. It can no longer be found online. So I typed it up and posted here to share with my readers this inspiring and lovely song.

I don't remember how I got this song, or perhaps it was introduced by a student to his/her class. There was a time when I had students teach their classmates a song once a week.
