Above every important lesson
Teach your daughters to want themselves
Show them the beauty of the earth
In the tresses of their hair
Every silky, smooth, dark, blond, brown, white
Every nappy, curled, long, gravity defying
Strand of their hair
Show them the light in their eyes
The one hate cannot dim
The wonder and beauty that surrounds it's rays
Teach them to embrace it
Show them the grace in the movement of their thighs
Show them the magic in their touch
Every soft, soothing, firm, warm, protective
Touch of their hands
Don't forget to remind them to love themselves
No matter their flaws, regardless of faults
Stop them from starving themselves
Of the love their soul needs
Teach them to want themselves
So they'll know real love when they see it.
