The Girl-Child, Our Lily In The Nile River!

Allow the girl-child lift her shoulders and walk in pride.
For i yearn to see her shine so bright.
Like Lilies in the Nile River, our girl will set the pace.
Open her wings, she will lead the race.

Oh, Mother Earth, where is thy faith?
Can you not see the worth of lilies in the Nile River?
The fragrance they radiate, calms the Nile.
Their unique identity feels refreshing. They are pure and innocent, the girl-child can relate!

Our girl-child strives to climb higher in life.
She needs our gentle push but none is near.
A look in her eyeballs is a wish to shine.
Give her hope and she will smile like a lily in the Nile that sheds no tears.

Shall we welcome, the generational thinker! Can't you see her drive and hope for peace and praise?
Her choices in life grows in delight.
Help her shape her dream of a prosperous career.
Create a safe space for her to lead.
Awake, our girl- child is great!

Boredom has no space in her heart.
Her days on earth are a relief in the night.
Move the needle and sharpen her brains.
Before nightfall, her wisdom shall outshine the stars in the sky.
How glorious it shall be for mother earth, when our girl-child sees her worth.
