GOD'S PERFECT ME

You are as God intended...

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 kind of 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 why 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 lives 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!

Thank you😊

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Makes one think that a superficial sense of beauty is what everyone is running behind. God created all of us and made us beautiful. We are all beautiful

great poem filled with truth i will read it to my boy. He is real good looking but kinda goofy.

The biggest compliment I could receive is to have you want read this to your son so for that I say thank you! I wrote this for my kids so they would always know no matter what anyone could ever say, they are perfect as God intended them to be. If you let your son know all of his imperfections he might see in himself or others might point out just to be mean is what makes him perfect, it would make the greatest difference in his life. Thank you for your comment and your time:-)

Heartfelt and strong--simply lovely--lose the ALL CAPS, though... :o)

[Teeya]

Thanks for taking the time to review my work. The reason those specific words are in all caps is to emphasize I AM the BEAUTIFUL GOD CREATED! Thanks again for your time and your suggestion...both are much appreciated:-)

I can really connect to this one. I have a front tooth that's half gone to a cavity, while the front tooth is further back than normal. I've been picked on, bullied, got depressed, never had a girlfriend. But I still have goals: to become a publish writer, which I've been doing about two years, still not one story is published. But, hey, it took Stephen King five just to publish his first story. Anyway, thanks for writing this.

Passion fuels true love so if your love of writing drives you to continue to do so...you've already made it further than many who have no clue what love or passion feels like! Good luck to you friend and thanks so much for the read and the comment:)
