“Who do you see when you look at me?
Do you see who I am and who I hope to be?
Who do you see when you look at me?
that you would condemn or hope to admire?
If your looking high, look lower.
If your looking low, look higher.
I am a child of anger with ones of her own,
A loving mother whose children adore.
Do you see a harlot, a disgrace to her home,
a devoted wife who could not be more?
Is that what you see when you look at me?
That you would condemn or you would admire?
If your looking high, look lower.
If your looking low, look higher.
Lazy in deed, even at play,
A loyal worker doing her best,
ashamed and alone, forgetting to pray,
A faithful Christian never at rest?
Whomever you see when you look at me,
do not condemn or hope to admire.
For all I am is all I’ll ever be,
If your looking high, look lower.
If your looking low, look higher.”
When I look at you, I see a human being,
with flaws and strengths, like anyone seen.
I see a person with a heart full of love
and a soul that seeks guidance from above.
I see a child of anger who has learned to heal
and a mother whose love her children can feel.
I see someone who strives to do her best
and a woman who stands by her family with zest.
I do not see a harlot or a disgrace to her home,
I see a devoted wife who couldn’t be more alone.
I see a person with different roles to play,
who juggles them all in her own unique way.
So, whoever you are and whatever you do,
remember that your worth is not based on a view.
For you are more than what meets the eye,
If you’re looking high, look lower,
and if you’re looking low, look high.
