Dear Child
We want you to know;
The truth about body image.
Men and women are equal.
What you do is more important than how you look.
Do whatever makes you happy.
There will always be someone who’ll like you for who you are.
Dear Teenage Girl
We want you to know;
Everybody is different,
You don’t need to look like everybody else.
You don’t have to try to be perfect.
Life is about what you want to be,
Not how thin you are.
Take off your make up,
Take off your Spanx,
And then you are, and always will be
You look beautiful.
Dear Woman
We want you to know;
Magazine messages tell us
What we should be like.
It’s not real.
Or it’s a reality none of us can attain.
All bodies are beautiful.
Believe in yourself and in
Your right to be
Who you want to be.
You look great exactly as you are.
As much as you can
Make your life full of what makes you feel good.
Don’t worry about hairy legs and VPL’s.
Dear Mothers
We want to you to know;
Just be yourself after pregnancy.
Accept your body the way it is.
Its ok to be whatever size you are if you are happy.
Now is the time to take care of yourself,
Because you cannot give if you have nothing left.
Mother’s hard work day after day is what keeps
The whole world going.
We thank you.
Dear Older Women
We want you to know;
You lucky person!
No more periods!
Dye your hair pink
And go wild.
Do all the things you promised yourself you’d do,
And never got round to.
The world needs your wisdom,
We respect you.
Dear Elder Women
We want you to know;
Accept your wrinkles!
You are an inspiration to us all,
You are valued for who you are and
Your life experiences.
Thank you for all you have given
Throughout the years
