Every Day We Are Learning

Every day we are learning
How to live with essence, not ease.
How to move with haste, never hate.
How to leave this pain that is beyond us
Behind us.
Just like a skill or any art,
We cannot possess hope without practicing it. 
It is the most fundamental craft we demand of ourselves.
-Amanda Gorman

DEAR DAUGHTER

I hope with all my heart
that I showed you the real me
that I didn't pretend I had it all together
or that life was not hard

I hope I gave you the belief of you in your core
that I loved you enough, albeit messily
to code a blueprint for life
to show you what love should look like.

I hope I let you see me break
so you could understand it's not an ending
rather a step
and it's vital

Dear Daughter
I could not possibly have gotten everything right
and perhaps that's the best thing I have given you
the knowledge that no one gets it right
we are not here to be perfect
we are here to grow stronger
and more bright
with every generation

grow brigther my love
brighter than me
as it very much should be
and when I can no longer be here, remember
my cells live within you
you cannont ever lose me, not really

we are a deal, a two-for-one
I won't ever be too far. 
--Donna Ashworth (Wild Hope)
