Dearest daughter, listen closely to me
The world isn’t all that it seems to be.
Kindess and cruelty come hand in hand;
Learn to trust without letting your guard down.
Love is a gift that is often exploited for gain -
Tread carefully my dear; we women are blinded
Caught up in the fairytale ideal of having it all
Wanting everything in one man is our mistake.
Feminism and stereotypes are one and the same;
Be who you want to be – disregard judgements.
Life passes by too quickly to live by expectations.
Don’t let the fear of disappointment and failure rule you.
This journey is your story, so write it with your all.
Pride yourself in every step that you take.
Always move forward, even when you think you cannot -
You have more strength than you will ever realize.
Dearest daughter, these are lessons I pass onto you.
Learn them well and grow into a wonderful woman.
