You are beautiful; to a sister on the train.

You are beautiful because you can walk
outside with minimal effort made to look beautiful.

No makeup. Wearing a do'rag, rollers, a 'fro, dreads, or cornrows.
All make you beautiful

In sweats, in a skirt, fitted denim, or leggings.
All make you beautiful.

Carrying a suitcase, a designer bag, a designer fake, a shopping bag.
All make you beautiful.

Hold your money in your hand, hold your honey in your heart.
Hold your dreams in your soul.
Hold your head up through it all.

All makes you. Beautiful.
