Know Your Worth

You are so much more than your hips or your thighs.
More than the stares and the glares
or some young man’s lies 

More stunning than the Mona Lisa
Your likeness can’t be molded into sculpture
 you are living, breathing art.
Not to be defined by your body,
Only your soul and your heart

When you look in the mirror, 
please see more than your reflection.
See the essence of beauty 
a work of perfection.
You are the inheritance of the promise.
You are the covenant unbroken,
You are cries unheard
and words unspoken

You are much more radiant than the stars
you are breathtaking constellations
You are a valley of virtue.
A Lady in waiting

You are shores of compassion surrounding oceans of faith
You are the much needed cool, caressing breeze, on a hot summer’s day.
You are the eighth, ninth, and tenth wonder of the world
Much more precious than diamonds and pearls

You are more mystifying than the pyramids of Egypt,
More spectacular than snow caped peeks of Sweden
Your presence was predestined in the Garden of Eden.

You are the silver lining stretching across the sky,
Broadened with truth, both gentle and meek
You are the earth’s horizon where land and sky meet. 

You are a Queen, and upon your head you bare a crown 
Adorned in wisdom, courage and strength
A most magnificent gift of GOD, 
you are truly  heaven-sent

But you have to know your worth
