I See You

I see you…

I see you and all your fears…

         … not being pretty enough

         … not being funny enough

         … not being girly enough

         … not being thin enough

         … not being talkative enough

         … not being stylish enough

         … not being smart enough

I see you…

I see you and all your blessings…

         … being a child of God

         … being loved by family

         … being loved by friends

         … being goal-oriented

         … being sensitive to others

         … being an advocate for children

         … being a proud, strong, single mom

I see you…

I see you, which is me, in the mirror every day.
