I may not be an oil painting Or a very fine work of art But there's one thing I know for certain I have much love I wish to impart You cannot judge me solely By the outer layer of my skin This person you see before you Comes from very deep within Sure I use a little make up Making me more attractive to the eye But my inner beauty remains hidden About myself I cannot lie Through my words I will reveal This person that I've come to be As you journey through my eyes I hope you like what you see I'll never be a size 8 model There is much more to me I feel I stand proud and I stand tall And every inch of me is real I am certainly far from perfect But I am happy by just being me My father once used to say There's always someone worse off you see The greatest love can only be found From within the soul is where it lies You must firstly love three people Known as me myself and I Live your life to the fullest And be worthy of yourself Nobody in this world is perfect No one likes being left upon the shelf Allow your spirit to be set free On the wings of a beautiful white dove For the greatest gift we can give Is the precious gift of our love Suetang |

Oh and if you dont love yourself...one can never be happy..because you should never hold someone else responsible for your happiness..although when in love it certainly contributes alot to feeling happy doesnt it..hugsss loved your words Sue..  ~Victoria

 (smiles) Yes, yes, such gorgeous wisdom shines from your heart and I agree with Victoria too, while my love makes me feel the happiest I have ever been, we must first learn to love ourselves to advance and apprciate all the rest of life, and I have done that and if I had neevr done that, I may have never found Joanna, the girl of my dreams, or you and all my wonderful friends here! (kiss on cheek) This is absolutely wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
