She doesn't know,
what a gift she is.
All her younger years,
she was teased and ridiculed.
Never picked for a team,
she was just what was left over.
Never pretty like the
prettiest girls.
Never as graceful as
the dancers.
She calls herself an
Ugly Duckling.
But we all know that
the Ugly Duckling,
grew up to be a swan.
She does not see that in
herself.
She has scars from her past.
But, even with those scars.
She has a loving and
forgiving heart.
She doesn't know what
a gift she is.
