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 strains one's ears
But often could be hollow
Veiling insecurity
There is a soft power
That comes from work
But seeks approval
Of others around
There is a sly power
That comes from
Manipulations and criticism
To rise above,
Bringing others down
Then there is a kind power
That comes from selfless
Love, care, compassion
And confidence
Achieve whatever you want
Be whoever you want to be
With kind power
And recognition will seek you out
Always!
