I'LL ALWAYS BE ME UNDERNEATH

My Daddy calls me Muffin. But I am really Mary Beth

Daddy knows I am Mary Beth, and so do I. But he still calls me Muffin.

I don't mind.

I have many names even though I'm still me.

I'm Mary Beth underneath.

Mommy calls me Baby Girl, even though I'm big now.
She knows I'm big. But she still calls me Baby Girl.

I don't mind though.

I know I'm Mary Beth underneath.

Sometimes I imagine me as a grownup and I am a doctor.
I laugh when I think of patients calling me Doctor Muffin or Doctor Baby Girl!

Daddy will call me Doctor Muffin and I won't mind.
Mommy will call me Doctor Baby Girl and I won't mind that either.
They both know who I am.

I'm Mary Beth underneath.

My Grandma calls me Lady Jane and I like it when she does.
She knows who I really am and so do I.

I'm Mary Beth underneath.

But when she calls me Lady Jane, it makes me feel like a princess who lived in a castle a long time ago.
I like being Lady Jane even if Grandma really knows what I know.

I'm Mary Beth underneath.

My Nanny calls me Sweetie Pie which really makes me giggle.
I've heard of apple pie and cherry pie and pizza pie, of course.

But who ever heard of a sweetie pie?
Just my Nanny and me. I'm the only sweetie pie.

But I'm always Mary Beth underneath.

I know who I am no matter what.

And you know who you are too.

You will always be you, underneath ... no matter what.
