But to everyone else theyโ€™ll be a consistent friend.
Theyโ€™ll never lack meaning.

They will always know love, and never feel they have to earn it.

Theyโ€™ll know their value is inherent, has nothing to do with their looks.

Theyโ€™ll be mothers one day if they so choose.
But their value wonโ€™t be defined by the use of their wombs.

They will be whatever lives in their hearts.

My girls will know poetry and song.
They know I will listen when something feels wrong.
They will learn that โ€˜women are too emotionalโ€™ is an original lie.
And they will not grow up with a father who refuses to cry.

So yeah,
My girls will make some weak men shake in their knees.
