(I look up to find
Their eyes on me.
I know what they are staring at,
My freckled cheeks.)
Their eyes are lit with wonder,
They sparkle like the sky
They look at me with hunger
To know my whats and whys.
The million stars on my cheeks
They shine in merry and sigh
I am beautiful the way I am
And everyone knows just why.
