Sep. 18, 2007 - Beauty Defined
Here is a poem I wrote while looking in the mirror. I've gained a lot of weight from having kids, and once we relocated I gained even more weight. I wanted to write something that I could put on my bathroom mirror, something that would make me feel proud of me. So here it goes.
Beauty Defined
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
My growing face of eyes, ears, nose and mouth staring back at me.
Hips, thighs and stomach bigger than they use to be,
Hardly what society defines as beauty?
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
Something more beyond my face and body,
I hear a voice within saying look closer at the reflection you see,
It's my soul staring back at me.
As I look in the mirror confused about true beauty,
I see my heart full of love, grace, and inner peace,
Lips full of praise for those around me,
Big brown eyes that see hope and reflect dignity.
Ears adorned with jewelry from those who love me,
Hips, thighs and stomach that reveal babies nurtured inside of me.
I look in the mirror and now I see that beauty is more than skin deep.
I look in the mirror and now I see that I define beauty it doesn't define me.
