name you

daughter,
i will name my heart
after you.
both having been born
in the body,
both being my
dug deep roots.
my grace givers.
oxygen providers.
safe keepers.

i would not exist without you.

ans so i name it after all
that you are
and
will be,
little one.

i name it: resilient.
i name it: courageous.
i name it: fearless.

i name it: love.
