Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.
More Quotes from Shel Silverstein:
Somebody has to go polish the stars, They're looking a little bit dull.

So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars.Shel Silverstein
