Dear Sarah

Oh dear beautiful Sarah,
The world feels tilted, doesn’t it?
Like the ground shifted beneath your feet, Leaving you scrambling to find your balance.
A tiny heartbeat thrumming a new rhythm inside you,
A melody, both beautiful and terrifying.
School feels distant now, a forgotten tune, From a life that seems to have ended before it even began.
You see judgment in whispers,
Feel the weight of expectations heavy on your shoulders.
But remember, dear Sarah,
Your worth isn’t measured by a piece of paper or a societal timeline.
You hold a universe within you,
A tiny miracle unfolding with every passing day.
The path may not be the one you envisioned, But that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of purpose.
Motherhood is a school in itself,
A crash course in fierce love and unwavering devotion.
You’ll learn patience in the quiet hours of the night,
Resilience with every scraped knee and teardrop.
Education can wait,
Knowledge is a vast ocean,
And you can sail its currents later.
Now, focus on the tiny sailor growing within you.
Read stories, sing lullabies, fill your mind with the language of love.
This doesn’t define you, Sarah,
It’s a chapter, a detour in your story, not the ending,
The world still holds possibilities, dreams waiting to be chased,
Maybe motherhood will ignite a new fire,
A passion to learn, to grow, to build a better future for both of you.
Don’t let fear extinguish your spark, Sarah, Embrace the journey,
The sleepless nights and messy moments,
You are strong, capable, and loved,
When you’re ready, the world of knowledge will be waiting,
With open arms and lessons yet to be learned.
For now, hold onto hope, Sarah,
It’s a seed waiting to bloom,
A promise written on the wind,
You are not alone.
