I don’t know about you…but I want my daughter to understand the true beauty that already fills her soul.
It’s not about the fabulous outfits she creates each day. Although those are pretty spectacular.
It’s not about the giant, chocolate colored eyes that sometimes make me want to weep. Although those are beyond gorgeous.
And it’s not about the drawings that cover our home and make it just a little bit more inviting. Although those never fail to brighten my day.
The beauty within this little shining star has nothing at all to do with any of that.
It’s the kindness in her soul that truly makes her beautiful. It’s the empathy that seems fit for an adult, for someone who has lived beyond six years and experienced all kinds of ups and downs along the way. It’s the laughter that fills our home with sunshine. And it’s the love that she saves especially for her baby brother, even when he only wants to play truck stop (again).
Beauty runs right through to her very core. And although she might not know that yet, I intend to spend the rest of my days making sure that she does.
