Body Love by Mary Lambert

I love listening to poetry, especially when spoken by the author. This poem has some curse words, and is of adult content, but I think it is so very important.  I am grateful that most days I accept my body for what it is, but I am constantly assaulted by others who throw their own insecurities about their own bodies at me. I am happy with who I am -- that my body carries me through my days, that it carried and nurtures my three beautiful children, that it delights my husband. I have body love most of the time -- and I wish I could convince more women of the same!
