Garden of Thorns

Beautiful girl, Remember that you are special: You have limbs like strong tree trunks, Hair like beautiful vines, You have cheeks dusted with roses, And nectar in all of your lines. You have breasts like sturdy mountains, And hips wide as the earth, your stomach is large to accommodate the fire inside your girth. So when they say you’re ugly, And you’re not allowed to give a prickly response,

Remember that you’re an elegant garden, And every garden has its army of thorns.

Our bodies ae the wonderful vehicles of our souls. Once we know that we can laugh at the comments or criticisms from dwarfs who are ignorant of the above reality. Every garden has thorns to protect the flowers and fruits from the predators.
