Daughter,
my wish for you
is that you be whole.
Not just a hole
to be filled by some dullard's dick,
dumb ideas, or distressing
lack of imagination.
Not in a hole
shoveled by your sex;
a six feet under start.
Whole.
From your cells to your stars
whole.
Holy.
You.
integrity - the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished

Perfect. The use of whole and holy is so much better than the vacant hole.
This makes me want to cry and rejoice at once, MZ.
So pwerful.
I love this,
"Whole.
From your cells to your stars
whole.
Holy.
You."
Wow.
I want a T-Shirt that says this. ♥
Absolutely perfect. And with you for a mom, she definitely is and will continue to be.

Don't mess with Mamma Bear. This transitions from tough to tender in the most magical way. LOVE it.
You never fail to amaze and impress me!! You are one talented lady, MZ, and a great Mom indeed!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!!
way to use your words, mama. :)
It reads like a prayer. I could almost imagine something like this for a coming of age ceremony. Strong and very heartfelt.
I wish this for all our daughters. xx
Such a wonderful wish for a loving daughter...! It really moved me and touched my heart.. :)
xoxo
Perfect. I love this so much, it is sacred, profane and completely appropriate.
Excellent, excellent.
From the man's DDDDDs that break wholeness to the women's SSSSSs that can do it too, this wish contains warning true, leaving wholy holy when you're through!
Beauty and practical truths in your wish. Every bit of it is embraceable.
Love...
This is purely awesome. Like Baby Puppy. Like you.
So strong and right a wish, so hard in this fragmented, fragmenting world. Beautiful.
I fervently hope your wish comes true.
What better wish? Well said!
A strong call from mother to daughter to be strong when the world tries to mold you into its wish.
A wonderful wish..to be whole! Love this~ I bet she will be!
Very nicely written, Mom Zee. Good advice too, with the added play on words (hole, whole, around and around, then spun out with 'holy').
..
Very effective, no pulled punches, thanks, MZ. k.
This is a wish I would have for my daughters too, and for everyone's daughters.
Holy!
Very powerfully written!
This is powerful:
"Not in a hole
shoveled by your sex;
a six feet under start."
yes ~
