Beautiful You

                          Did you see the beautiful you?
                      Yes, you! the inside and out of you.

                   Focus on the you that you already know.
                         Stop comparing you to other(s).
                        They are not you, so why bother?

                    You are wonderfully and uniquely made.
                         There could be no one compared
                          to you; for everyone is different
                               and that fact is apparent.

                            Work on you, inside and out.
                          Instead of being down and out.
                     Quit complaining, it’s a waste of time.
                Start changing; it’s a productive use of time.

                      Shut your lips and open your mind.
                Your strengths and weaknesses, you’ll find.
                         Share your strengths out there.
                       Change your weaknesses in there.

                        Smile, it radiates positive energy.
                           Laugh, it sends out vibrancy.
                      Appreciate, it gives encouragement.
                      Love, it conveys warm attachment.

                          Now, do you see the new you?
                        The changing for the better you, 
                       or, you can say, the feel good you.
                        Wow! it’s the new beautiful you.

Thank you. I had the book self published. I wanted to reach out to everybody out there... to see how beautiful they are and if I could change one person's perspective in life to be positive and love and celebrate one's self, I am very happy.
