You belong! You do.
That’s always been true.
You’ve belonged to yourself
since you were tiny and new.

On your very first day,
when you breathed on your own,
you belonged to yourself
and were made to be known. 

You had value and meaning,
you were worthy of love,
and the only unknown
was who you would become.
