Body Love
Open your eyes
Look in the mirror
Let fingers dance upon your skin
Learn to love the body you are in
Kiss your scars
Cradle your stretch marks
Accept every imperfection
Learn to love the body you are in
Straight or curly hair
Widow’s peak or pointed ears
A yellow or pearly white grin
Learn to love the body you are in
Beauty marks may dot your face
A wheelchair may replace your feet
Or maybe you’re an identical twin
Learn to love the body you are in
Small breasts or double D’s
Size two or size sixteen
Make your skin thick not thin
Learn to love the body you are in
Larger noses are pretty too
And acne doesn’t define you
Look at life with an upward chin
And learn to love the body you are in
Far ahead in the future
Older and wiser and grayer
You know to tell your kin
To love the body they are in
