But to everyone else theyโll be a consistent friend.
Theyโll never lack meaning.

Theyโll take up space and theyโll like what they like.

My girls will be feared by weak men.

They will always know love, and never feel they have to earn it.
Theyโll know their value is inherent, has nothing to do with their looks.

Theyโll be mothers one day if they so choose.
But their value wonโt 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 โwomen 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.
