Marvelous splendor
The eyes delight
God’s thumbprint upon
This magical sight

She wears herself
And nothing more
Standing true
In her natural form

Beauty is,
Not symmetry
Beauty is
Simply to be

God made you, you
And nothing more
So wear it proud
And wear it strong

There is only one you
On the face of this earth
And someone out there
Can see all your worth

Without you changing
A single thing -
Your beauty is in
Your true being

So let your light
Shine through today
So God can delight
In what he has made.

Beware ancient grudge
Either the red or the blue
It is all purple

When I watch you being a dad... I love you.
When I see you smile and laugh... I love you.
When I see the boys getting along and wanting your attention... I love you.
When I see you trying... I love you.

But there are also times when I feel stupid and hurt...

When you yell at us even though you know you shouldn't...
When you get upset for the kids being kids...
When you put them down with the words you say not even realizing that you're hurting them or me...
When you call me names...
When you forget to do things you say you will...
When you stop trying because I've stopped asking...

Your love is average
I don't know why I seek it.
Perhaps its the most I've ever received.
At a certain level I cry knowing **** well I don't deserve average.
So don't pity me any longer, just leave
I would do the same.
I'm the problem.

you got feelings, so do I
don't try to deny
it's okay to open up
and trust me its gonna ****
you can't put them in a bottle trust me I've tried
it will take you on a ride
that you never wanna be on
then you wonder where you've gone

April is a humiliating joke to me
The rain that supposedly comes to water the flowers
Is better represented by the amount of tears shed this month
