You Are Beautiful


She brushes my hair.
My Mom. 
She isn't making me beautiful.
She is making me feel beautiful.
Through her loving gaze and tender hands,
she is telling me over and over...
You are beautiful.

With each stroke of the brush I am reminded of all the past times 
she went out of her way to make me feel beautiful.
Doing my hair for homecomings and proms.
Taking me shopping for the perfect wedding dress.
Giving me a lovely nightgown each time my babies were born.

She brushes my hair.
I remember the words without words.
You are beautiful, my daughter.
Over and over.

 How has your mom spoken to your heart?

 Blessings,

 Joining my sweet friend, Emily, at her place today.

    I love this! I agree with Christi. It is a great reminder that our actions speak louder then words. I wonder and hope that this is what my foster daughter feels when i comb her hair every night and tell her how special she is. Great post. It touched my heart. I';m so glad I found your blog an I'm following it. :) www'findyoursparkle2.com

    Dear Wendy
    I am so glad you have this wonderful memories of your mother! I never had a close relationship with my mom, but I know she has given me the love she was capable off. Today's word at Emily's was a hard, difficult one for me to write on!
    Much love XX
