Pretty Things

In life we give certain words “power”

It’s sad, but it’s oh so true

And as human beings, we want to fit into that “acceptable mold”

We sometimes disregard what’s right and wrong

We look past the common sense

And we hold on to more of the negative than positives we are told

They tell you beauty is only skin deep

They tell you what matters is what’s on the inside

They tell you that “words” aren’t as painful as sticks and stones

But What they don’t tell you is some folks can’t look past your surface

Some really don’t care about your “heart”

They don’t tell you folks can’t get past your skin and bones

So little cousin I’m going to give you some advice

Advice no one ever gave me

Advice that would have saved me years of pain, hurt, and endless tears

I’m not going to tell you how beautiful you are (because it’s obvious 😉)

I’m not going to tell you “they’re just haters”

What I’m going to say is something most still need to hear

The Bible tells us “we are Gods handiwork”

Created in His image for His purpose

Which means , We are too beautiful to even explain

No mere mortal man, woman, or child can comprehend that

I mean I was create by the Masters hand

Can imagine how amazing that is to proclaim

So I learned when you call me something that I know I’m not

When you try and hurt me to the core

When you want to feel like I’m not a direct descendant of the Almighty King

I simply take a look in my mirror and smile greatly

I fix my hair and gloss my lips

And I sit back and realize My Father ONLY makes ... Pretty Things
