Be Beautiful

(For 7-year-old, Tiana Parker)

You are beautiful, from your feet to your hair

and people who dare to mock you, show their jealousy 

in their stare

You are wonderful, from your skin to your smile

and your features are reminiscent of the queens who ruled the Nile

Your are spectacular, like the stars in the night

that shine down from heaven and spread their glorious light

You are loved 

and embraced by those who care

So be that beautiful, young, princess 

With the stunning bow in her hair
