Be strong, Babygirl


On the outside she looks happy,

But in all reality, is she?

Most of the time it's not what you see,

But what you believe.

 

Read the signs,

You'll be surprised,

At what you may find,

Inside her mind.

 

She wants to give up,

But she knows she cannot,

Because she must stay strong,

And hold on...

 

Don't cry, babygirl,

Don't mourn in this world,

Just let your mind be a pearl,

A delicate gem in a never-ending whirl.

 

Kepp your faith in check,

Keep your head on your neck,

Don't become an emotional wreck,

Take chances and say, "What the heck!"
