“Raising the Storm” | Savannah Asmus

They climb higher than you want them to.

They run faster, get dirtier, push further.

And you stand there—half pride, half panic—

learning in real time how to let go.

This piece is for the boys who want to be big before they’re ready, and the mothers who have to trust them anyway.

You don’t raise them to stay small. You raise them to become something wild.
