I love you feet, you let me dance
And run and skip and climb,
I love you legs, calves and thighs that walk me
From where I am to where I want to be,
I love you hips and waist, covered in purple and silver
Marks from growth, striped with change.

I love you tummy pouch, keeping my organs safe
And warm,
I love you ****** and ovaries and ****** and ****** and
All the other parts down there,
You gals are pretty cool even though you cause me pain,
But pleasure comes with pain right?

I love you spine, for keeping me upright and straight,
Even though I’m really not,
I love you ribs, you keep my heart safe in her cage
And my lungs protected while they keep me breathing and alive.

I love you arms, that allow me to hug my loved ones, hold things
And lift myself up,
I love you hands, that let the words flow out of me and
Onto a blank screen or a pure sheet of paper.

I love you brain, you think the most beautiful things
Even though you’re a little broken,
I love you face, eyes to watch sunsets, ears to listen
To music, nose to smell freshly baked bread and the
Crackling fire, cheeks to ache after laughing too hard,
Mouth to smile and form words and kiss and taste.

I love you muscles, I love you ligaments,
I love you bones, I love you cartilage,
I love you nerves, I love you organs,
I love you skin,
I love you fat,
I love you body, my home.
