You
The girl in the back of the classroom
The girl who always raises her hand
The girl on the football team
The girl surrounded by friends
The girl on the debate team
The girl who dances
The girl who sleeps around
The girl that dropped out of high school
The girl headed to university
The girl that is just plain confused
I see you
You can't hide
You can't hide the ugly
You can't hide the mistakes
You can't hide the sorrow
You can't hide your face
But you are more
More than the ugly
More than the mistakes
More than the sorrows
More than a just another face
You are treasured
You are beloved
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
You not a number
On a scale
On a screen
On a jersey
You have a beautiful heart
Full of kindness
Full of grace
Full of mercy
Full of beauty
You are a pearl
You are a diamond
You are the most treasured of all of my creations
I made the mountains
I made the rivers
I made the sea
The sun
The sky
The stars
I have created and designed things greater than you can even fathom
But when I look at you
You take my breath away
Your radiance
Your strength
Your power
Wow It is good
You say you're a mistake
A reject
A malfunction in the perfect system I created
But I say you are my daughter
The daughter that I made in reverence
The daughter that I made in awe
The daughter that I made in my image
I carefully knit you together in your mother's womb
Piecing you together
I place and shaped your nose
Your waist
Your eyes
Your lips
Your hair
And I say it is good
You are a daughter of the one true King
An heir to the throne of heaven
And anyone who EVER tells you otherwise is filthy liar
You may sit in the back of the classroom
You may have a 4.5 GPA
You may love to play football
You may be surrounded by friends
You may have a knack for arguing
You may be dance team captain
You may be a teen mom
You may not have a high school diploma
You may be drowning in student debt
Or you may be stuck
But these thing do not define you
They will fade
But you will not
I created the earth and it has stood against storms
I created you and you will take the world by storm
So no matter what you are my daughter
My child
My treasure
My diamond
My pearl
My heir
My princess
My beloved
You are mine
And you will always be more than enough
