#WDYS: For the visually challenged reader, this picture shows a young girl of
African descent standing on a bridge, wearing a big smile and a t-shirt that
says: “Future Leader”
FOR ALL DAUGHTERS Before you were conceived I conjured you before you were of this world you were born in me. Fold of my flesh I carried in my womb when you were born I was ready for you. I’m rejuvenated with the miracle of you— no one belongs here more than you do. © selmamartin.com
It’s been a while since I participated in a #WDYS challenge. The photo called
to me, and I hope you’re inspired to write to this prompt too.
Sadje’s rules:

original post. - Write an original story, poem, or a caption.
- There is no limit to words or format, but keep it family-friendly.
- If you post a response before next Sunday, I will be able to add it to my
roundup post. - I will do a round-up next Sunday before the next Prompt is posted.
- It is always helpful if you can give your post/story/poem a title.
- There are issues with pingbacks in WordPress these days. So please paste

THANKS, SADJE, AND THANKS ALL FOR READING MY POST.
