What makes me beautiful to you?
Everything about you, precious darling - if only you knew.
Would I still be beautiful if I was made new?
The sun and the stars would not hold candle to you
What about me caught your eye, turned your head?
I've watched you since before you were concieved, by my hand you were led
Was it something I did, or something I said?
I wrote a letter about it, read my answer in red
Was it my beauty, in the shape of my face?
I made you as you are, unique and perfect among your race.
Was it my patience, or was it my grace?
For who you are. I am perfecting you as I teach you new ways
Was it my hair, my smile or my eyes?
Each is beautiful, my daughter; but those are but a guise
Was it the way, that I asked why?
It was how you turned back to me, after you made me cry
Am I beautiful, so far from perfect?
If you were the only one among the millions, it still would be worth it
Am I still beautiful, in an emotional wreck?
You teardrops are all noticed, I keep your pain in check
Am I beautiful, even when I regress and move forward again?
You are beautiful, growing, now, I'll make your beauty times ten!
Am I beautiful, when I write with my paper and pen?
Though you can't see what they're doing now, it will make you smile then
Am I beautiful, when I have no make-up on?
I formed your face and made your flesh, your eyes are like the dawn.
Am I beautiful, when I sing my own songs?
Yes! I love your music! Would you sing the one "to him belongs"?
Am I still beautiful, when I'm broken?
You take my breath then, more than ever. This healing is my token
And I cry over again and again?
I'm your comfort and your lover, your tears to me are gems
What makes me beautiful, no lie?
My love for you makes you beautiful, you want truth? For you I'd die.
Is it my superficial outside?
I made your body beautiful, but will change, just like the tide
-Or is it the real me inside?
The real you is who you are in me, your beauty is what you gave and how you tried.

... for once, we feel as though we can love ourselves, and sometimes we grow to understand ourselves through that other person, but then we also want to make excuses for them when they aren't the right person or have flaws

"maybe you'll be president and know right from wrong,
or in the flood you'll build an ark and sail us to the moon"
