I Am Divine

I looked in the mirror the other day-
"You are divine" i heard a voice say
My eyes were wide with much surprise,
"Oh no I'm no, just see my eyes.
They're much to small, i wish they were blue."
The voice came again, " You are joyful and true."

I looked at my neighbor with such a sigh,
"You're so thin!" was my weak cry.
She seemed quite stunned, then said to me
"Things aren't always what you see,
I'd give anything if i were you
For you are righteous and truthful too."

I picked a book off the shelf.
Then knew i couldn't live with myself
I promptly put it in its place,
then felt the Spirit take place.
"I knew you'd pick the one you should
you thirst for knowledge---That is good."

I told my brother. "It's not funny,
You are rich with so much money."
He said, " I'm rich that much is true
but i would rather be like you.
You're honest, good, and always kind
People like you are hard to find."

It took awhile but i caught on,
And soon my list of wishes was gone.
How blessed i am from up above
with God and friends and joy and love.
No money can buy these gifts of mine
I'm a Daughter of God and I am DIVINE!
