For the warrior in the quiet moments

if only

she saw

what I see

when she smiles through the chaos

when she stands alone and strong

raising little hearts

while carrying her own—

if only

she knew

how powerful she is

how much beauty there is

in her trying

I’d tell her—

you are not just enough,

you are everything

they need

and more

so breathe, love,

the world is lucky

to have a soul like yours

in it.
