Always Know You’re Special

by mossgirl19   Jun 20, 2017


I know your own doubts have misled you
To think that you are a nobody
Just trying to be somebody every day.

Every single day, your only wish is to survive
So you can go on with tomorrow
Just for the sake of being called alive.

Have you ever had a view
of the lilies in the field?
Surely, their delicate beauty
renders the art of man a
poor endeavor.
Camera captures, paintings in a canvass
Lifelike sculptures-
How they fall short compared
to the beauty of the flower
when seen by the very eyes.

Don’t try too hard to be someone
Because who you are is who you are meant to be
Like a lily, on your own,
Your beauty exceeds all imperfections.

You are not limited to brush strokes
Nor by pastel colors of paint
It doesn’t matter if you are created
In marble, silver or gold.
No camera frames will ever give justice
To the real you.

If you ever think you are so ordinary
Think of the intricate, delicate beauty of the lily
And always know you’re special.

    This is a really great poem, I love how you compared the photo print to the real flower, I agree. I have seen beautiful Sunsets and other things of Nature and grieve that the photos don't reflect what my eyes have seen. You point out how special human beings are, God's crowning Creation made in his very own image and likeness! I loved these lines; Have you ever had a view
    of the lilies in the field?
    Surely, their delicate beauty
    renders the art of man a
    poor endeavor. Excellent write!
