Girl Magic

Girl Magic

Can you feel it too?

It exist in a place

Deep inside of me and you

Hidden within us

Are treasures great enough to fill the world

Loving our dreams, facing unconquerable realities

That is the magic of being a girl

She can defeat those who place obstacles in her way

Stand firmly in places they said she would be unable to stay

She is a conqueror, a fighter

Yet she always comes in peace

She is an example of what the next generation can be

She is a mover and a shaker

A builder of legacies  

She is a girl who contains magic

A girl that is heard, respected and seen

Can you feel her magic?

I can feel it too

Never forget that the magic exist deep within you

So when you’re feeling down

And think you can’t stand tall

Remember that someone believes in you

And knows that you won’t fall

Never give up, keep your hope alive

When you feel as if you’ve had it

Stop, think, relax

And remember you’ve got that Girl Magic

Legendary Women

She walks with authority

Unable to allow the pressures of life to weigh her down

She is focused, maintaining her grace

Never allowing anyone to take her crown

She speaks with an eloquence

Unmatched by her competitors

She leaves a trace of her passion

To defeat her predators

She is not boastful

Nor does her heart harbor hate

She stands in her glory

Allowing herself to be great

She learns

She listens

She educates

She validates

No time for the naysayers

She speaks life

She gives life

She lives life

Manifesting her destiny

Pearls of wisdom are her gift

Spirits she is able to lift

She fights like an angel

Showing us that we were meant to fly

And as long as we keep ourselves from being held captive

Our dreams will never die

She is a legacy

Because one day

They will choose to walk in her footsteps

Choose to follow in her path

Choose to spread peace

Choose to spread hope

Choose to be the women our ancestors fought for us to be

Women, who are simply legendary
