Athena lives on

Athena lives on.

 

I hear her battle cries through girls who fight for social justice every day.

They fight to be heard, to be seen, to be cared for. They fight to be equal.

 

Athena lives on.

 

I see her power in every girl who fights for what she wants. Her dreams. Her goals. Her future.

They fight their own battles. They are their own knight in shining armor.

 

Athena lives on.

 

I see her brain in girls who focus and learn. They get their education and become heads of corporations.

No is not an answer for them. They are unstoppable.

 

Athena lives on.

 

I see her inspiration in every girl who creates. They sketch, weave, and color outside the lines.

They make their own beauty, and they dominate their craft.

 

Athena lives on.

 

I see her talent in every girl who cares for nature. They plant trees and watch beautiful owls fly by.

They care for the future of our world, because we only get one.

 

Athena lives on.

 

I see her in girls who are courageous and powerful.

They’re beautiful the way they are.

 

Athena lives on,

 

In every girl,

 

Athena lives on!
