Hold your self beautiful

This is for you. Don't believe the lie that you're inadequate, inferior, or worthless because you aren't perfect as you imagine perfection. You're beautiful. You're precious. You're loved. Now grow.

Hold your self beautiful

Hold your self beautiful,

Blemish and all;

Hold your self handsome,

Stand your full tall.

None can be truly you,

No-one at all -

Hold your self beautiful,

Blemish and all.

*

Hold your self precious,

Diamond and coal;

Hold your self hallow,

New you and old;

Quilted, embroidered,

In subtle and bold -

Hold your self precious -

Diamond and coal.

*

Hold your self heavenly,

Star dust and shine,

Breath of eternity,

Held in your skin;

Flesh and divinity

Like fingers entwine -

Hold your self heavenly,

Star dust and shine.

*

Hold your self loved,

Golden and grey;

Cling to the essence

That can't fade away;

Hold to the promises

Newborn each day -

Hold your self loved,

Golden and grey.

*

Hold your self beautiful,
Blemish and all;

Holld your self handsome,

Stand your full tall.

None can be truly you,

No-one at all -

Hold your self beautiful,

Blemish and all.
