She is beautiful
She is important
She is the future
See her tender heart
Yearning for love
Hear her voice
Don't take it away
She is to be valued
She is to be groomed
Hold her hands
Lead her to her purpose
She is a womb
In time she would birth life
She is much more
A mind full of ideas
Soft yet powerful
She is a leader
She is a supporter
She is a true friend
Invest in her too
Why make her feel any less
Why hold back her rights
Why the hate
Why the discrimination
She is a girl
Celebrate her
I have seen countless girls deprived of education,choice  of career,forced into  marriages as children   and more "because they are girls" today in the international day of the girl child and for me a girl should be celebrated everyday.Let her realise she is as important as the boys.let her understand she os is able to succeed and rise.give her equal support,invest in a girl child today.
