Beauty

Twirling in my little dress
Covering my lips in color
Curtsying as people pass
I am beautiful.

I have wanted to be beautiful ever since I could remember.  It's this desire each woman is born with, but it's not just physical beauty I desire.  I want deep, inner-soul beauty that explodes with every smile, penetrates every soul.  I want to be a beautiful person.  By feeling beautiful, I feel loved.
Dancing has provided a way for me to feel beautiful.  I twirl and spin and dip, and I feel like the prettiest woman in the world.  In this video, it's not the woman's hair or eyes or figure I envy.  It's the look in the man's eyes when he holds her tight.  It's the smile that shines across his face when she spins into him.  I want to see that same look in someone's eyes when they see me.  To see their face light up when I walk in the room.  I want to have the Love God intended me to have.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free.
