YOU ARE NOT THAT by (me!) sandra, tvgp


you are not your pretty face

you are not your scars


you are not the house you keep

you are not your car


you are not your business card

your illness or your health


you are a cherished child of God

ever green, beloved.


you are not what others think

based on current trends


you are loved, day in, day out

on purpose, without end


if they stuck you in a mud pit

or covered you in jewels


or plopped you in a foreign land

without any foreign tools


if they placed you on a pedestal

then kicked you off for fun


none of this

is who you are

in the eyes of God.



you are not your ignorance

and you are not your knowledge


you are a cherished child of God

ever green, beloved.

bbf, that's cute! It reminds me of some great lyrics from Prince of Egypt song, Through Heaven's Eyes.

ren man/karma: thank you!

had to remind myself today too:

"i am not my skin rash

or the grey roots in my hair

i am not my unshaved legs

or untrimmed pubic hair...


some days it's easier to remember than others

"to paper bags & broken mirrors

~ever green, beloved!"

love, ~s.

Happy TG to you to, my dear blogging friend!

Let's agree to not shave our legs for the holiday and be thankful we have that choice. Want to do it?
