Because We Deserve It.
Yes, let's colour our hair.
Choose clothes with care.
Eat the right food.
We deserve to look good.
Let's look young for our age.
We're all at that stage.
Fix on that smile.
We deserve all this style.
But let's look inside
At the hurt we all hide.
Does our heart need some aid?
We deserve that re-made.
Let's look deeper, and start
With our 'make-over' heart.
Let's just not settle for 'show'.
We're worth it you know! !
If we begin to forgive.
To live - - and let live.
Beauty then will refine.
We deserve hearts that shine.
So let's work inside-out.
Learn what real life's about
Before it's too late.
We deserve to FEEL great.

indeed we do Fay. forgiving others is the easy part but learning to ourselves takes a little longer

Cool, cool, cool I love this one Mrs Slimm can I take it to school after the hoildays and show it to my class. They will think this is so cool. PS; who is Audrey Hepburn did she write other poems and can I find her books in the Library?

I decided the best comment here was not my words, but someone elses whose theme you have represented here in great style: "For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others." — Audrey Hepburn

Fay, I just love this poem.... The last stanza is killer.Thanks I take it to my favourites "So let's work inside-out. Learn what real life's about Before it's too late. We deserve to FEEL great."

This 'heart-makeover' poem is a real treat, Fay. In this day and age of botox and collagen, words like these mean so much. :)

Happiness comes from within, it is there all the time, gets clouded by all that guilt. Great poem Fay and I love the picture of the three innocents
