The Beautiful I AM (for my babies)

CATEGORY

Views: 351

 
My forehead is big
My ears are all flappy
My hair is not long
It's short, thick, and nappy

My eyes are both crossed
I have to wear glasses
My skin is too dark,
the color of molasses

My teeth are really crooked
I have to wear braces
Sometimes people stare at me
And make really mean faces

I walk with a limp
And wear special shoes
Kids point and laugh at me
and give me the blues

I don't like who I am
I don't like who I see
I wish I wasn't different
I wish I was pretty

Why didn't God make me beautiful?
Is He mad at me?
Did I do something wrong?
If I did, I'm sorry

I asked my mommie
if God loves me
and if He does
then y am I ugly?

My mom says I'm beautiful
because God made me this way
and He loves every part of me
each and every day

She says God made me perfect
as He wanted me to be
and that beauty is in all he created
so His beauty is inside and outside of me

God made us all different
Not one of us is the same
We all have imperfections
but we're perfect in His name

I may not be the beautiful
some others might be
But I AM the BEAUTIFUL
God CREATED me to be!

Nicely stated I used to get down about situations I was in and go down town and watch blind folks negotiate busy traffic many folks waling the street, and I would say and I should complain, I admired blind folks, they have strong faith
