To the daughters yet to be born,

I want you to know that,

no one will ever decide for your place in the world

or your role in nature,

you will be free to choose your destiny,

you will grow beautiful with your flaws,

you will have sparks of stars in your voice

and the warmth of the sun in your soul,

you will speak for yourself

and the world will have to listen,

for you will have the storms of power in your tongue

and the kind, compassionate heart of yours

will never be crushed under the heels of their pride.
