If I had a Daughter by Sarah Kay
Some of my favorite lines are "There is nothing more beautiful than how the ocean refuses to stop kissing the sand no matter how many times it is sent away". This is such beautiful imagery and I can see how much a mother can love her daughter even if she pushes her away. Such dedication and love is packed into so few words. I can also see how this can be sad and beautiful. Just like if someone is constantly be turned away by the one they love but they keep coming back. They must love that person so much that they keep trying.
Another line I love is "This life will kick you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much like the taste of air" This is such a great life lesson. There are many things that will knock you down and bring you to place you don't want to be but when you get through the trouble times you reach a wonderful place of peace. The peace you reach may just be the 'normal' you were at but you appreciate it more. That is the main lesson that I get from this quote that you need to appreciate what you have because it hurts when its gone.
