Shush…
You are a woman, they say
Keep it inside, lower your voice!
they try to trap her in
She chins up
and keeps her head up
and shows up nevertheless
Amidst all the chaos,
She fights with wolves to cross the forest
And in the darkest dusks,
her eyes shine even brighter than the stars

She is the symbol of love
And the definition of grace
The most delicate flower in your garden
Yet the strongest warrior you’d ever see
Calming shelter for restless souls
is beneath her
Soothing comfort for struggling hearts
is within her

As she ambles along the yard,
Her gaze waters thousand wildflowers
Be it any small or any big obstacle
she always comes back
stronger than ever
And brings sunshine with her smile

And just like that…
Little princesses crown into queens
And spread their angel wings
To fly…
Neither the society nor the evil
can dishearten
or bring her down from shining
For she knows her worth
like the back of her hand
