Curly Girl Blessing

On By Jasmine on the GraveIn Bloom, Body, Roots

I tell baby girl,
as I shape her hair—
round, springing curls:

“Don’t worry,
you are in luck.
Momma knows exactly
how to care for curly hair.”

Having my own
halo of curls helps.

She’ll never have to Google,
never have to learn
through trial and error
how to tame wild ringlets
or keep them healthy.

I thank the Gods
I was prepared for this—
even the small things,
the dos and don’ts
of natural beauty.

Just be you, kid.
Momma’s got you covered.
