If you can be the bigger person when on the other side of the wooden door someone is getting thrown in the red garbage bin,

If you can put on a blue dress with funny words on it and not even care about other people’s opinions,

If you can read a book in French in front of other people and keep your virtue,

If you can go your own path instead of being a follower,

If you can be honest with yourself especially when you’re wrong,

If you can eat Pasta Bolognese in front of your hot crush while he is staring right at you, but keep your cool,

If you can love yourself even with your flaws,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And which is more you’ll be a woman,

My daughter!
