Chapter 68 - Self Love

My eyes are blue like the seas

So filled with wonder and curiosity

Instead of green like the trees

That's a whole different set of mystery

My hair is thick and curly

With a length that's fun to play with

Most times it's quite unruly

As it blows around on the breeze

If you let the sun shine down

A range of colors you'll see on my crown

A glittering gold, a reddish undertone

Dirty brown, a few white strands also shown

A cute little button nose

I'm happy even if it's only I who thinks so

A rounded baby face

Making it harder for aging to leave a trace

Ears that catch whispers

But shouts don't ring a bell

Freckles that seem to come and go

As they blend in whenever I am most pale

Lips are a hard thing to describe

Especially those such as mine

Are they full are they sparse?

I just know that they are marvelous

A natural frown dragging them down

But when lit with a smile, I think 'wow'

Soft to the touch, though guarded as such

Often times chapped, still bit while in thought

Small enough to get sauce all over my face

Hands that are so tiny

It's a wonder how they keep up the writing

Attached to some pretty funny T rex arms

Though I'm told that it's all part of my charm

Legs that are strong even if not too long

As well as a figure that boasts of curves

Age and weight are just numbers

They start low and continue to grow

Zero to one hundred, one day that's gonna be me!

Small enough to get lost in any crowd

Tall enough to reach some of the highest shelves

The perfect height to be exactly my type

Maybe even attract someone else's delight

But my laughter holds my soul

Ranged with dozens of different sounds

Sometimes it's as if squeezing a windex bottle

Other times it's like a dying cow

I've mastered the Wicked Witch of the West

Though the silent 'I can't breathe!'

Is what I do best

On rare occasions, even a giggle slips

Even earning a few startled compliments

If you could describe someone better

Please write me a letter

I'd like to meet one so praised by another

Though I still think I'm loved best by my dear mother <3
