A Love Letter to Every Woman Who Has Carried It All
Updated: 23 hours ago

You deserve to be loved.
You deserve to be adored.
You deserve to be held so tightly
that, for once, you don't have to be strong.
You deserve all the love in the world.
Not for what you've done.
Not for what you've given.
But simply because you are.
Your hands deserve to be kissed,
for they have fed hungry little mouths,
wiped away tears,
and held tiny sleeping beauties through the dark.
Your eyes deserve to be gazed into with wonder,
for their loving gaze taught little one's minds
what safety feels like,
what love looks like,
and what it means to be seen.
Your tummy deserves to be worshipped,
for it has carried life,
held stories beneath its skin,
and wears its scars
like quiet monuments to be adored.
Your legs deserve to be caressed,
for they have carried you
through every road you chose,
and every road you never wished to walk.
Yet here you are.
Still standing.
Your back deserves to be embraced,
for it has carried burdens
that were never yours to bear.
The weight of generations,
the grief that had no words,
the wounds that nobody saw.
And still,
you chose to let the pain end with you.
What was passed down
need not be passed on.
Your heart deserves to be sung to,
for every love it has given,
every anger it has dared to feel,
every sadness it has survived,
and every hope it has refused to bury.
And when the world asks you
to give a little more,
to be a little stronger,
to love a little harder,
may someone finally whisper,
You have given enough.
You have carried enough.
You have been strong enough.
Now,
Let yourself be held.
Let yourself be loved.
Not because you are a mother.
Not because you are a giver.
Not because you have survived.
But because you are you.
And my dear,
you were always worthy of the love
you so freely gave to everyone else.
