Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2003-09-08 05:09 AM


(this is not from my own experiance..but dedicated to all the women and teens of the world, don't listen to the media..love yourself as God loves you!)(This is a song I had written several years ago about anorexia and bulimia and people with scars etc..)


She closes her eyes and cries herself to sleep, her stomache is empty now tommorw she'll be a size three,

She feels no love as her heart begans to weep, she is loved for just her external beauty, when beauty is skin deep,

The world tells her to be perfect from the outside in, she knows that is a lie, from the shape her heart is in,

Quietly she hears a voice from above, quietly it whispers with comfort and love....

You are beautiful, beautiful in the eyes of God,
Beautiful is what you are, for he only sees the content of your heart,

No need to listen to what the world will say, you are beautiful, beautiful, God made you that way...

Little girl at the tender age of three,looks in the mirror at the scar on her face, Daddy, daddy, who will love me? look at my face how ugly...

He takes her by her hand, wipes away her tears, puts his hand over her heart to calm her deepest fears,

Then he says....

You are beautiful, beautiful, in the eyes of God,
Beautiful is what you are, for he only sees the content of your heart,

No need to listen to what the world will say...
You are beautiful, beautiful, God made you that way..

So many people, blind and cannot see,So many people filled with flesh and vanity,

Whay can't they see, love is so much deeper, It is giving love unconditionally, sacrificially,

Its the compassion of the heart, that last eternally,

Its the mother or a wife, who stands by your side faithfully,

It's not the flesh, or the size of your body,

Look at women through the eyes of God...

Look at women for the size of their heart...

For they are beautiful...beautiful...in the eyes of GOD...

You speak perfect words of wisdom my love..so many people who are already beautiful try to change their image because of ''fashion''..instead of being the unique and individual people that they are..God truly only sees the beauty within..that he created..thank you for this great poem...love..
