I AM...BEAUTIFUL

{Post: 363/365}

I am...

beautiful

not because of 

the package I come in

or the colour of my skin

not because

my eyes are pretty

or the length of my hair

not because I am

or am NOT 

a perfect shape or figure

but because

of my spirit

my heart

my mind

my soul

all that I am

and all that I carry 

within myself

all that I have

to offer to the world

all that I give

all that I believe

all that I share

all that I create

all that I imagine

all that I am

and I am...

BEAUTIFUL

Son

{Post: 279/365}

my firstborn son

my lifeline

in a tumultuous life

the greatest joy

and deepest sorrows

both

from babyhood

to teenage years

to now

a grown man

a good heart

a beautiful mind

a sensitive soul

and a man I am proud of

strong

able

sometimes impulsive

with his own unique

perspective

finding his way

he is beautiful

he is my son
