I do not have the perfect teeth
nor do I have a model's feet -
but I am beautiful.

I do not have a flawless skin,
no beauty contest I will win -
but I ám beautiful.

I'm neither elegant nor tall
and my breasts are rather small -
but I am beautiful.

I do not walk with ease or grace
nor do I have a flawless face -
but I am beautiful.

Without make-up or artsy nails
I still got a smile that never fails -
yes, I am beautiful.

My legs are neither straight nor long,
but my heart is pure and strong -
yes, I am beautiful.

I like my shape, I like my size,
I love the sparkle in my eyes -
yes, I am beautiful.

I look in the mirror with a grin,
I love the body that I'm in -
because I'm beautiful.
