To Be a Hmong Women


To be a Hmong Women,

You must learn to love your parents.

To be a Hmong Women,

You must learn to love your family.

To be a Hmong Women,

You must learn to love your community.

But to be a Hmong Women,

You can not love yourself. 

 

To be a Hmong Women,

You must learn to learn to love your husband.

To be a Hmong Women, 

You must learn how to hang in there.

To be a Hmong Women,

You must learn how to scarfice.

But to be a Hmong Women,

You must not learn to love yourself. 

 

To be a Hmong women, you must to learn how to love yourself.
