To My Daughters
In this world,
Power comes in many forms
And in many ways
Specially for women today
There is a loud power
That rings in one's ears
But often could be hollow
Veiling insecurity
There is a soft power
That comes from work
And seeks approval
Of others around
There is a sly power
That comes from
Manipulations and criticism
To bring up the stature
Bringing others down
Then there is a kind power
That comes from selfless
Love, care, compassion
And confidence
Be whatever you want to be
With kind power
And recognition will seek you out
Always!
