They Becoming

They watched how you spoke to others.
Not the words — the tone.

Later, they used the same tone on someone smaller.
No instruction.
No reminder.

Just imitation, quiet and precise.

That’s how becoming travels.
Not through lessons,
but through everyday voice and posture.

Children don’t inherit advice.
They inherit atmosphere.

Somewhere between listening and repeating,
a future manner settles in.

They don’t know it yet.
But they are becoming.
