Beautifully His

Psalm 139:14 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Beautifully His 12/6/12

Barefoot child,

Hair a mess,

Spinning, twirling

In a dress.

Believing-

I'm a princess-

My mommy told me so!

Preteen girl,

Freckled face,

Wondering, wishing

To find a place.

Believing-

I'm not pretty enough

And I can't be.

Young adult,

Steely eyes,

Thinking, Certain,

Beauty is lies.

Believing-

If only I try harder

To follow the crowd.

Fully grown,

Not content,

Trying, hoping,

To retain years spent.

Believing-

I lost my beauty years ago

But maybe this can get it back.

Child beloved,

Made with care,

Remember, see,

God is there.

Saying-

You are created beautiful

Because you are uniquely Mine.
