Fireworks

Mesmerized by the fireworks, surrounded by roller coasters.

Because lots of US history is exhausting

A milestone of the times

Monday, June 13, 2022: The first day since March 2020 when no one in our family wore a mask to school/work.

(The YWCA is mask optional effective 6/13/22)

Ready for kindergarten

Sadie at her kindergarten orientation

Pretty

"I bet she'll be pretty" they say at her cot.

I wonder what this means, so I ask, "pretty what?"

"Pretty bold? Pretty bright? Pretty wise, loud, and brave?"

Ah, but they just mean her face, and they hope she'll behave

 

But I hope my daughter doesn't do as she's told,

As long as she's safe, I hope my daughter is bold,

She questions the world, she'll fight as she stands,

She knows that she has powers as great as any man,

She's sporty and creative, she has so much to say,

She's kind and inquisitive, she changes the world each day,

 

When she becomes a teen I know the world will seem tight,

But a small box to fill and then she'll be right,

I hope she knows her beauty doesn't come from her face,

That being a woman doesn't mean knowing your place,

That I hope she's happy and fights for her choice,

Yes I hope my future daughter always uses her voice.
