Best Friend

 No more
putting yourself down.

No more
greeting yourself with a frown. 

'You are beautiful!' 
I say.

'How graceful 
you navigate each day.'

I know you still carry
much pain, my Dear.

But how bravely
you face your every fear. 

You play, you explore,
you adventurous Girl! 

The world is your dance floor,
you spin and you twirl.

You turn every challenge
into your gain.

No holding back,
you dance in the rain!

And one day, you'll see
that in the end

 you have been 
your own best friend.
