She watched you stand tall on shaky legs

 She watched you stand tall on shaky legs.

She saw you choose softness and strength at the same time.
She felt your love in every boundary you honored.

Because long before she became any of those things,
She watched you be all of them.

She will not shrink to make others comfortable.
She will not call control love, just because it comes wrapped in attention.

She will protect her peace like it is something sacred, something holy.
She will say no without needing to explain.

She will walk away when she needs to.
She will begin again without fear in her chest.

She is becoming her,
Because she had you.

You are not just raising a little girl.
You are raising a future woman who will know her worth like it’s stitched into her soul.

And even when you doubted yourself,
She was learning how to never doubt her own worth.

So on the days you wonder if you’re doing enough,
Remember this.
You already are.
