For My Future Daughter

TO MY FUTURE DAUGHTER

to my future daughter-

you're beautiful. you were marbled in my womb, and painted with constellations. weakness will disguise you're strength, but I promise you are extraordinary. powerful. you matter. god placed you in the palms of my hands for a reason. you have purpose. let your true self blossom. grow. prosper. don't you dare let your sadness consume you, but let it teach you. and if you find yourself slipping into your demons hands, please come to me so I can assure you that you're not as diabolical as they make you seem to be. let me reassure you a thousand times, my dear. and please, don't collect the tears that dance down your cheeks into your own hands, but let me take my thumbs and wipe them away for you.

you breathe fire, darling.

don't be afraid of your own embers.

I love you.
