dear woman, thank you. you may rarely hear this. so thank you. for being strong because you are. for being soft because you are. for being love because you are. i'm sorry for all the times you have been taken advantage of and overlooked. i'm sorry others made mistakes and didn't know how to treat you. you are a gift and you have always known this. your big heart lets people in even if you risk getting hurt. thank you for your bravery. thank you for your courage. thank you for your power. thank you for your beauty. dear woman, every battle you face is a victory because you could choose to turn away but you are not afraid to live. we have so much to learn and love from you. dear woman we are because of you
