for the girls, love shel

girls 

sometimes I wonder

if I’m doing this all right 

if I’m being who you need me to be

if you can feel the love from me 

sometimes I wonder 

if you can sense my uncertainties 

if I’m making the right choices 

if I’m teaching you all you need 

but those worries

those fears

they usually come at night

or on days without you here

because when you’re with me

the fears fade 

when you grasp my hand

when you share your feelings

when you lean in

when you laugh 

the worries melt away 

I love you, girls

and I think you know it 

just fine
