A Longing Life


And there she was longing for a successful life.

A life to inspire others,

A life to help the poor,

A life to prove to her family,

That education can give you more. 

She studied, she obeyed, she stood her ground.

And when the time came,

Only one was still around.

They believed in her

And even though they couldn't give her the world,

They could give her the strength to believe she will have:

A life that inspires others,

A life that helps the poor,

And a life that proves to her family,

Education is all the more.
