Men can be beautiful.

You are beautiful. I know you believe beauty is reserved for femininity, but you're wrong. You are beautiful. Like the lines of my most favorite poems, you are beautiful. Like the Creator's sky, moon, stars, and sun, you are beautiful. Like the voice of India Arie, you are beautiful. Like the coos, smiles, and face of my niece, you are beautiful. You are beautiful. I know you think beauty starts and stops with women, but men can be beautiful too, and I find all the elements of beauty in you.
