Women Who Smile

There's girls in this world who never smile,

There's girls in this world who never live.

All around in this world there are people afraid,

People shy and people sad.

In this world its hard to find, a focused, smiling, living girl.

A girl of power a girl of strength.

Lacy, flowery strength, hidden oh so obviously behind a screen of delicacy.

In this world we need smarts we need strength we need love.

Hanging on, living life, opening doors,

and raising windows.

We need friends who care

And enemies to be reckoned with.

We need a rock, a beach of soft sand.

In this world there is little of worth, little of need,

and here, in the mirror, in front of us,

We see the girl we all want to be.

Strong, powerful, in control, and in love.

Smiling, and living and talking and loving.

Here you are you and I am me.

Here you smile and can see the truth in the eyes of everyone around.

The truth that you are who you want to be.

No fear,

The world is yours.
