Beautiful

Lisa R. Strong
You are beautiful;
There is no one quite like you;
Precious to the one;
Who created all things;
Do not let others put you down;
Because you are unique;
Everyone has a purpose;
According to His design;
A job that only you can do;
A value that is greater than money;
Or of the rarest of gemstones;
You are not a burden;
To be brushed aside;
Others may not understand;
But God always does;
You are created in His likeness;
Thus, your life is sacred;
He does not create robots;
That we may all think and feel alike;
No! He gave us all hearts to love;
And minds to think on our own;
He does not create rubbish;
To be scorned or discarded;
How we chose to love him is not an issue;
He just wants us to love;
You are beautiful;
You are His pride and joy.

    Lisa, I am in tears now, and I am not one to cry much. Now I know why I am reading your work tonight, instead of trying to get some sleep. This is just what I needed right now, and you have blessed me beyond words. Thank you, Lisa for this.
