The Color of Pride
I look at you, and I cannot help but stare in wonder. The wind ruffles your extraordinary hair, teasing you, as if the wind itself wants to show you off. Indeed, there is much to show, and even more on the inside. Your form seems so fragile, too fragile for the burdens you have taken…but you are strong. I know you are stronger than anyone ever thought possible.
And then I look at your eyes, and I see more than strength. I see determination, and faith, and promise. You are a leader already. You lead your own people with a strong voice and a strong mind. And I think you could lead others. You will lead them.
I remember wondering, when you were young, how you would grow without a father to support and govern you. But you…you never needed a father. You grew strong without one. You have become more than either I or anyone else could have imagined. You are more than just a warrior, though you will be a fighter until your last breath. You have become a champion of right, a hero.
And what really makes me proud, is that I know you are doing it for the right reasons. Maybe you weren't when you started, but you are now. I can see that, shining in your eyes and your words. And you aren't above learning something and admitting you might be wrong. You have lost and you have learned. I am amazed at the burden you have shouldered so willingly. I do not think I could have done it half so well as you. Promise me you will keep learning and growing, through all the years of your life. What am I thinking? Of course you will.
I just wanted to say, I am proud of you, my child.
