Tenderly, quietly she slipped into the world Precious little one, so full of life Treasured, admired covered by angels wingsLest a jealous world seek to devour Abused at school and in the streets By firelight in the safety of home"Your curse is a blessing, my child One day, there will be one for you One who can see the blessing of it" Brave boy, and handsome, comes along He seeks a friend, he knows the heart Carrying her books home from school Pelted with rocks to defend her Understanding and compassion grow"No, my son, she is cursed "But I do, I know her and love her I care not for the form It's what's inside that I want Her heart I wish knit to my ownA village alive with dance and song But the crowd whispers Why the monster? "No, I want all of you Truth and openness, finally But Wisdom had kept her secret Uncovered to shine Becomes a proud husband To the most beautiful woman on earthStephen Pursell, 10/19/02 To all you ladies out there who have ever had so much a moment of doubt that you are beautiful either inside or out, know that you have a Lover named Jesus, God in the flesh, who made you gloriously beautiful in his image and who has the keys to unlocking that beauty no matter how hidden or damaged it has been. He made you for that beauty to shine out and dazzle a world in desperate need of beauty. So if you do not know him already, please pray this Prayer To Receive Eternal Salvation and put your life in the hands of the One who has a plan for your life that is beyond anything you can begin to imagine on your own. God bless you!! -Steve | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
