Mulan: Heroic as Yourself

If there is any young lass to which people can relate

Between the fantasy kingdom and beyond,

It is Mulan the strong, the beautiful, the different.

To enchant us, she needs no performance or wand.

She stays true to herself and her own qualities

Of protectiveness, duty, and love,

Expecting the most of herself,

While accepting her friends' help with the grace of a dove.

Some heroines end the story happily in a knight's arms,

While Mulan defends her father's honor and safety.

She is the champion of choice,

Deciding her own strength and fate until she is eighty

Anon and forever, heroic in simplicity.
