It's Only Our Shell

(10/1/12) She was a big boned woman without an ounce of fat But for her height and stature, she was much more than that. She was a queen - a goddess of height and might And for her love I would surely fight. Her height and physique would put fear In other women from the start But she had the most kind and gentlest heart. Why does height and build stop us from seeing Ones true self. It's only a body - it's only a shell. The inside of that giant or dwarf May be as big or as small as you And going thru your same things too. "So remember" - our bodies are just an outer shell The only place our hearts can dwell. © L. RAMS
