Just...Stop Stop wishing away the lines on your face. Every line means you smiled! Stop wishing away your stretch marks. For every one of them there is a grateful child. Stop wishing away those extra pounds. It means you have food to eat. Stop wishing away your corns and bunions. It means you have shoes to put upon your feet. Stop wishing away your grey hair! It means you've had many years to enjoy life. Stop wishing away imperfections, perceived by others lies. There is someone out there who sees you as perfect in their eyes! Badges of Courage! Not shame. Please... Stop wishing them away.

Wishing It All Away
Just...Stop Stop wishing away the lines on your face. Every line means you smiled! Stop wishing away your stretch marks. For every one of them there is a grateful child. Stop wishing away those extra pounds. It means you have food to eat. Stop wishing away your corns and bunions. It means you have shoes to put upon your feet. Stop wishing away your grey hair! It means you've had many years to enjoy life. Stop wishing away imperfections, perceived by others lies. There is someone out there who sees you as perfect in their eyes! Badges of Courage! Not shame. Please... Stop wishing them away.
