The Power of A Girl
QUICK BITE – The elegance she carried
The beauty she brought
Made illuminated and bright
her every word and thought
She was silenced for long
She bore with society’s
judgements and grudges
Yet each day, she rose
from the ashes like a phoenix
She had the strength of an army
willpower that was unmatchable
She marched towards freedom
Needed no man to define her
She was complete and whole
That’s who she was, she was a girl
Never compromising on her dreams
She was a true visionary
She would bring change drastically
Her feminine essence shone brightly
The elegance she carried
The beauty she brought
Made illuminated and bright
her every word and thought
She knew what she was-
With her fiery personality,
Her intelligence was her charm
Her greatness none could ever doubt
For she knew herself – inside out
Our Girl Child
QUICK BITE – She is a wonder, she is a gem
She is the root from which glory stems
Her wit is admiring, like a poem’s brevity
Her strength is immense, like the laws of gravity
She is a wonder, she is a gem
She is the root from which glory stems
Her wit is admiring, like a poem’s brevity
Her strength is immense, like the laws of gravity
Her audacity can run through cities and towns
She’s the pinnacle of courage, a final showdown
She not only rises each time she falls
But builds her own bridges and tears down the walls
Nothing can ever near her score
Ev’r bright like a beacon, better than before
She’ll go unarmed into the deadliest war
And return victorious, without a hint of gore
She is the Queen of planet Earth-
The Queen ever since her birth
Words cannot describe the luck of humanity
To have this pillar of support and generosity
More than anything, she is a beauty chalice
She deserves her rights, her body is her palace
No man should ever have authority over her
She shares a thousand stories in a single tear
With kindness in her left hand, magic in her right
She holds in her heart a fire burning bright
Her intelligence stems from her powerful mind
Where knowledge grows; a wisdom hard to find
She is a rare treasure, like a rainbow’s band
Elegance that roams throughout the land
She is aesthetic, she’s fearless, a lioness of the wild
And always will she remain, our beloved girl child…….
