I shall make a promise to myself
To look within and see
The beauty that resides
In the very heart of me

I shall learn to love the girl
That God created here
To accept who I am
And live life without fear

I am blessed among women
In health and in strength
I am granted intelligence
I am surrounded by grace

I am given imagination
Dreams varied and full
Passions about living
Days of laughter and soul

Why then does my heart cry
My soul often weary
Why then should I fear
Others won’t tarry

I am good enough
I am kindness and faith
Why then should I fear
I shall lose my place

Within your heart
Within your thoughts
I fear I am nothing
To be left for naught

I promise myself
To look in the mirror
To remember I am
To see myself clearer

S.A.T.

It's funny how love has a way of making us insecure...the strongest of us.
You celebrate your own sanctity so very honorably...a stronger message than you will ever know.

Thank you.  It is sometimes hard to remember we are all a creation of the Devine.  I appreciate your reply very much.
