Dear Baby Girl
Know that you are precious and special

Dear Baby Girl
You are too good for them
Walk past and leave them be

Dear Baby Girl
Your light is bright
Your heart is warm
Don’t let the cold winds defuse you

Dear Baby Girl
Know that you are loved
Know that you matter
Take up space
Speak, for you deserve to be heard

Dear Baby Girl
You are good and kind
There will be those who try to tell you otherwise
Don’t let the darkness of others stain your sweetness
They do not know the taste of honey
Your worth is lost on their ignorance

Dear Baby Girl
I love you no matter what
My heart bursts for your innocence
Your fear and pain will be gone
The confusion will ease
The answer is there within you, for you
Open your eyes, open your heart

Dear Baby Girl
Smell the salt and taste the breeze
Life loves you
It is always on your side
Be bright and free
Live with lightness
Let the hurt go, for you are safe now
Your wounds are turning to gold

Dear Baby Girl
You are rising, bold and beautiful
Grace and courage are your sceptre and orb
Leave behind what no longer serves you
See that life is good and people are kind
It is safe for you to see the good again
I will protect you and your peace
You are more than enough
Be you. You are a gem, a treasure. You are priceless as you are.
