Dear Queen

By Alyson Swann, See the Triumph Guest Blogger

Take a stand through love. In the midst of the storm, the love for one’s self is what preserves our precious spirits, and nurtures our precious hearts. Love eliminates fear, accumulates courage and initiates change. The love that we have for ourselves, alone, allows us to survive. Remember, you are a Queen. Love yourself, and every part of you.  

Dear Queen.

Dear Queen.

where’s your crown?

Never lose sight of
the royalty
that lives within you.
you are chosen.
you are worthy.
you are everything.

Those who do not understand the magnitude of your power
will carelessly handle it,
and try to dismantle it. 
you are chosen.
you are worthy.
you are everything.

Never lose sight of
the greatness
that you deserve.  

Never lose sight of
the greatness
that you possess.  

Dear Queen. 

Love yourself.
Love moves.
Love strengthens.
Love protects. 
you are chosen.
you are worthy.
you are everything.

Dear Queen.
Wear your crown.
