Brave girl,
Careful not to glance back--
The beauty of childhood
You must leave behind
Bend to the will of work
And fight for your freedom;
The choice is not easy:
Growing up
It is not for the faint...
Remember who you are,
Change is ever present;
Know where you've been
Root yourself in a direction
And move forward
Every step you take--
It will not be easy
But believe in you
And succeed.
