Look at what my body can do.
This large, fat body you judge,
Carries large, beautiful hands
to pinch cheeks and pat backs.
This flabby stomach provides
A safe space of love and care
for developing and young minds
to rest their head and arms upon.
These large upper arms guide
caring fingers that teach children
to recognize words and read
clearly, joyfully and correctly.
These lower arms also emit
a mechanism of giving hugs
while transmitting pure love
and nurturing young souls
in need of stable influence.
This body is not thin.
This body is not toned.
This body is a human
filled with immense depth,
immersive wells of love and
desire to nurture and give
care to the world in my way.
My body is imperfectly perfect
despite the fact it is often
judged, ridiculed and shamed.
This body you judge is mine,
and one I will embrace and
fully love from the inside out.
