Look At You

Look at you 

Look at you 
I mean look 
Really look 
At how God took 
Took time 
To mold you
Complete you
Craft you 
Create you 
Into this master piece
With ease 
Each sketch 
Was perfected at it's best 
It wasn't hard 
Because you see you were unique
From your head to your feet 
People critique 
Because they don't know you 
But they show you 
Who they are 
Who you are to 
Tell me who's more you than you
No one 
Is 
You are the life to a lifeless plant that gives 
Gives soil, give water , you give the root 
Your the basketball that goes in the hoop
The ingredients that goes in the soup 
Look at you 
You are more than legs and thighs 
You are like a roll of thunder have they heard your cry 
Have they ever looked in your eye 
And saw the crystal clear 
Image 
Take out the negatives 
Run it through 
And look at the positive image of you 
That's the view 
That you been waiting to see 
Took years and years and tears 
To flourish 
Into this beautiful flower
 With ever petal that was grown 
You owned it 
Every bouquet that was displayed 
It represented 
Trials 
My child 
Trials and tribulations 
Thinking about segregation 
In a nation 
That no longer represented 
Value morals 
It sucks
To see without certainty 
That we have to build 
Pick yourself back up live 
Forgive 
Forget 
Don't live a life full of regrets 
People don't look like what they have been through
So stop wishing you were them and. They were you 
Look just look at you 
Stare 
Get the glare 
With other opinions who care 
When you look with your eyes 
What do you see 
I see a puzzle 
With the right pieces 
Jeans with the right creases
I see 
The looks 
I see the pureness 
I see a feathered pen 
Ready to write 
Anything in  sight 
I see the light
The tunnel through darkness
The sparks through sparkness
 Gentle giant 
I see the climate
The weather 
I see us getting it together 
I see lifting up 
Instead of putting down 
I see readjusting those well earned crowns 
I see history in the making
Getting back everything that was taken
Taking a stand 
When I see myself 
I see that I "I CAN*
