She is going out in the world
time to show what she is made of.
She is going to show the big world
that she is made of the right stuff.
She is going to take it.
She is going to make it.
She has no time to hesitate.
She will fold her fears
and put them in her pocket,
and lock it.
This world is hers, she is the captain
she is the one who steers.
And the message she is sharing
to this great big, beautiful, sometimes scary world
comes from her own voice,
“I am a strong girl,
strong girl,
strong girl,
and I am going to take you on,
I am not afraid of you world.”
She knows from time to time
she will get knocked down
but she knows after a fall
she can stand tall.
This world will not win every time
she must stand her ground.
And the message she is sharing
to this great big, beautiful, sometimes scary world
comes from her own voice,
“I am a resilient girl,
resilient girl,
resilient girl,
and you will not win every time
you will not beat me world.”
She is also a woman
and she was born to nurture
to be a mother
to another
requires keeping the world at bay
in order to be pure.
And the message she is sharing
to this great big, beautiful, sometimes scary world
comes from her own voice,
“I am a tender girl,
tender girl,
tender girl,
and I will not always let you in
I need protection from the world.”
She knows who she is
there is no doubt in her heart.
She listens to the Spirit
she can hear it
whisper about her place in the world
she realizes her part.
And the message she is sharing
to this great big, beautiful, sometimes scary world
comes from her own voice,
“I am a confident girl,
confident girl,
confident girl,
and I am ready, oh so ready,
to go out into this world.”
And if this great big, beautiful, sometimes scary world
chooses not to see the girl
that is okay.
Because she knows she is that strong, resilient, tender, confident girl
that can take on the world.
