For The Daughter Who Flies
by a Gymnast’s Mother
Fearless, you run and flip
Taking flight, you soar into this world with a breath of esteem and confidence so large I wish to spread it to all girls across the world so they feel the same way you do and know the universe has their backs too, because it does.
Always.
Holding.
Space.
To know, you stand on solid ground — centered — -as you spiral through the air catching waves of knowledge with each aerial you achieve — - makes me still with presence and happiness and warms my heart.
May you consistently weave this knowledge within your spirit as you build your fire and take on everything that comes before you…
abundantly embracing love
and formidably shielding swords
Wings out — leaping, always landing on strong footing, taking a big breath, taking a moment to pause, and then off you will soar again.
Awestruck, I close my eyes sweet girl.
I pray. For you, and for all our sisters and daughters. May you never be pulled from this path, may you be shielded like Wonder Woman’s shield, to protect your inner self-awareness, self-confidence, self-independence.
May you walk with Wonder and with Vision, ALWAYS.
May You Always Stay Fierce 💃
