If I Have a Daughter
I wonder how
long
It will take
Before I feel
compelled to tell her, over and over
That she is wonderful,
that she is good and sacred just as she is and no matter what
Before someone
or something tries to tell her otherwise
Or because
someone or something told her otherwise
And she started
to believe it
Tell her now and everyday hereafter (speaking as a mom of 2 girls)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julia. I will! Sending all the very best to you and your daughters.
