When I Was Beautiful




Young Dancer

When I was beautiful
I danced in my father's arms
I ran with the wind, wishing I could fly
Cherishing all creation, life was in me
When I was beautiful
The sky was my dreamland
Mesmerizing clouds drifted above
Star-filled darkness delighted a curious mind

When I was beautiful
I could be anything I wanted to be
Dreams spawned creativity
Or perhaps, creativity spawned dreams

When I was beautiful
The daylight brought cheer
And a smiling face of joy
"Morning Glory" I was

 But time can rob beauty
Words can steal joy from little girls
And beautiful is hidden
Behind insecurities

When I was beautiful
I didn't know that I was
