SO MUCH MORE

"I want to apologize for all the women I have called pretty,
before I called them intelligent or brave.
I am sorry I made it sound as though 
something as simple as what you're born with
is the most you have to be proud of,
when your spirit has crushed mountains.
From now on I will say things like, 
you are resilient or your are extraordinary
not because I don't think you're pretty 
but because you are so much more than that."
