may a girl be loved
openly, honestly
and full of tenderness
cherished
without a doubt
so she would not question it
supported
in a discerning way
so she’d need not make herself small
admired
and sincerely praised
for all the good she may forget she does
may this girl receive
kindness in abundance
and if it is from a boy,
then by a boy who keeps his promises,
who sees her most clearly
and loves her for what he sees
les’nspired
