Pretty Is As Pretty Does
Pretty will give you what you need almost before you need it.
She will not enable you, she will encourage you and nurture you.
Nudging you toward what your heart wants, allowing you choices.
Pretty will role model the right way to treat other people and you will see.
She likes everybody, putting herself openly into their path, like a lamb or puppy.
She will listen. Not just pretend, but truly listen to your thoughts and feelings.
You will trust Pretty even if you trust no one else, including your own parents.
You will want to help her build a wall, because she is too tender hearted.
Because she cries when others are hurt, or disappointed.
You will want to help Pretty toughen up, but then you realize it is the wrong thing.
She is the epitome of the ultimate care giver. She is the mama of everybody.
If you change her, she could not be her, and you need her. You really do.
