Here's a song I sang at a diversity convention last summer. Let me know what you think. It's so true I thinkbr

How could anyone ever tell you that you are anything less than beautiful?br
how could anyone ever tell you that you're not whole?br
How could anyone ever fail to notice that your loving is a miracle?br
How deeply you're connected to my soul.br

Don't let anyone ever tell you that you are anything less than beautiful.br
Don't let anyone ever tell you that you're not whole.br
Don't let anyone fail to notice that you're loving is a miracle.br
How deeply you're connected to my soul.br

I've had a lesson, and I deem it necessary to post it correctly now. *smiles*

Hey thanks. It's one that just touches me so deep. I can't explain it. It's so true, and if everyone looked at people that way, the world would be better.

I don't know, we sang it at the diversity thing, and I never heard who wrote it. I'm not taking credit though. *smiles*

i just had a look for this song on googleand it would seem that it is by a woman called Libby Roderick. this is what i found.

Written by Libby in 1988 and included on her new compilation CD "How Could Anyone" in 2005 (see below), as well as on her "If You See a Dream" recording
in 1990, the song "How Could Anyone" has traveled around the globe, been translated into many different languages, reprinted in numerous books (including
Hometown by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder), sung at the U.N. Conference in Beijing by thousands of NGO representatives, and used in every conceivable
format and venue, from videos, films, and slide shows to hospitals, prisons, kindergartens, marches, peace gatherings, weddings, funerals and shelters.
Several years ago, Princess Diana was even spotted wearing a "How Could Anyone" tshirt to work out in the gym!

for more info go to http://www.libbyroderick.com/cd_new.html. you can even listen to song clips on there if you so desire.
