Aren’t those sweet words to the ears? Well, if your in tune with pop culture there’s usually a different message that is conveyed. It may be size, tighten, hair colr and so much more. So when I heard this song- really listened to the lyrics I smiled. I thought, now this is a beautiful illustration of how our tweens should be comforted and reassured.
Here are a few of my favorite lines:
“Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight, her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight”
“I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care, your skin, your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are”
“You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you”
-“More Beautiful You” by Jonny Diaz
So, I will continue on encouraging my daughter to be beautiful on the inside. Reminding her that inner beauty reflects on the outside brighter than anything else 🙂
