Wisdom from the wise.
When the shrieking looms, it lies:
You can’t do it. You will not win. You are not pretty. You’re too fat you are not thin.
You’re not young enough. You’re not bright.
You whine too much. You will never see the light.
You are sinking, and they know.
Stop trying to shine. You will never glow.
A strong voice immediately begins to restore the peace. A loving whisper, the sound of nurturing kindness reaffirms:
Bright eyes,
Warm smile,
Kind words,
Loving heart,
Creative mind,
Inspiring thoughts,
Hands that work,
Fingers that comfort,
Feet that travel,
Descendant of Adam and Eve,
Beautiful on the outside and within,
Royalty,
Uniqueness,
Destined,
Game Changer,
Most Importantly Saved by Grace!
Mama-Mama always said: My beautiful baby, you are more than enough. Even today as an adult when gossip or a vain attempt to discredit is tossed my way, I reflect back on those days; and, I can still hear the words my Granny would say.
A dedication to Mary I. Moss.
