I Love You

I love you feet, you let me dance

And run and skip and climb,

I love you legs, calves and thighs that walk me

From where I am to where I want to be,

I love you hips and waist, covered in purple and silver

Marks from growth, striped with change.

I love you tummy pouch, keeping my organs safe

And warm,

I love you uterus and ovaries and cervix and vagina and

All the other parts down there,

You gals are pretty cool even though you cause me pain,

But pleasure comes with pain right?

I love you spine, for keeping me upright and straight,

Even though I’m really not,

I love you ribs, you keep my heart safe in her cage

And my lungs protected while they keep me breathing and alive.

I love you arms, that allow me to hug my loved ones, hold things

And lift myself up,

I love you hands, that let the words flow out of me and

Onto a blank screen or a pure sheet of paper.

I love you brain, you think the most beautiful things

Even though you’re a little broken,

I love you face, eyes to watch sunsets, ears to listen

To music, nose to smell freshly baked bread and the

Crackling fire, cheeks to ache after laughing too hard,

Mouth to smile and form words and kiss and taste.

I love you muscles, I love you ligaments,

I love you bones, I love you cartilage,

I love you nerves, I love you organs,

I love you skin,

I love you fat,

I love you body, my home.
