Because They Are


My girls are beautiful

Yes, more beautiful than just what they see in the mirror

 

My girls are special

Yes, more special than a statistic

 

My girls are strong

Yes, stronger than the path that has been set for them

 

My girls are fierce 

Yes, fiercer than society’s opinion of them

 

My girls are sweet

Yes, sweeter than the candy they get every Tuesday

 

My girls are lovely

Yes, more lovely than they are told each day

 

My girls are successful

Yes, more successful than the grades they make

 

My girls are flawless

Yes, because they are, I am
