Body

Your body is not you.
I love you .... the real you ....
.... the you that laughs .... and smiles ....
... and makes funny jokes.
... the you that worries cos you swear too much

I love the you that wants my support ....
... the you that understands when I struggle to smile
... that tells me... when life is all too much to handle
..... that it will be OK

Your body is the container that holds
the irrepressible being that you are
Your body is not you.
I love you .... the real you ....
.... the you that loves your daughter
just the way you orter....

I love..... You
