beauty
i have always wanted a body to adorn me
i think that will bring to me love and acceptance
even my own
though i never thought i had beauty
i still desire
i compare my body and labels and trivialities
my body is in the process of decay
now beyond denial
i detect life within
and perhaps
a Love resides there
some kind of beauty grows there
God is taking away dead layers
allowing new birth within
my soul is His
His garden
i know
the layers will go

A LITTLE SOMETHIN' 
a garden well-tended …
Very nice and well said.
Lovely and moving.
Beautiful. Poignant. And so very very true.
