Some say I’m over weight- while some say I’m fat. I say I’m big boned - my doctor told me that.

What does weight matter? - does it mean I can’t love?

I was made this way - by GOD up above.

My brother is tall and thin- they say he’s bones and skin.

Why does weight matter?

Can any of us ever win !

They say when we walk down the street

We look like ABBOTT and COSTELLO

He looks like a bamboo stick

While I look like a cello.

We’ve learned how to accept the jeers

And to control our rages and emotions

For “IN GOD” we put our devotion.

Love lives in any size bodies!

Big or small, short or tall

GOD has given love to all.

Why do people love to criticize and find

Fault with every one, when they themselves

Have faults , which can not be undone.

When I was growing up , there was a saying

For both fat and thin, and no matter

which way you put it

Both sides would always win.

They would say : the closer the meat to the bone the sweeter it is

And: the more the meat, the better the treat.

So to all you criticizers ! We will not be put down.

For you are the one

who walks with the heavy crown.
