A Letter to Our Daughters
I am sorry.
This is not the outcome your grandmothers wished for you.
Democracy is a powerful thing and it is what our country is built on
And
We don’t always agree with it.
You are young and don’t know much about the world right now.
And that’s okay.
But soon you will see.
Soon you will see that not only is there prejudice and sexism and pain,
But that there are strong females who have overcome these barriers
And
Spoke up

And you will, too.
You are strong.
You are kind.
You are mighty.
You are gentle.
You have a heart that loves.
You have hands that create.
You have a laugh that radiates.
It is not easy to see the future.
But as we look at you, it seems bright.
