Little one

ShannonXx

Little one 

So small

A beautiful baby girl 

She just started to crawl

Floral dresses 

Fierce blue eyes 

Delight she does insight

I hope this never leaves her life 

This world can be cruel

Inhumane 

Emotionally deafening

Little one

Be strong

Don't listen to peoples queries

Misjudged comments

Little one

Believe in yourself

Don't allow the media to bring your spirit down

You see society wants us to be one way

Beautiful

Perfect in every way

Girls have to have the whole package

No flaws can shine through

Little one

Love yourself

 

Through those tough teenage years 

Everyone has faults 

Embrace them 

I see you now so pure 

Unaware of the struggles going on in the world 

One day you will learn them 

But stay positive, you can get through 

Little one

Don't lose yourself 

Or let someone break your heart in a single second 

Don't let them take advantage 

Remove who your truly are 

Achieve your goals

Keep loved ones close 

Finally little one 

None of us our perfect 

Things may get hard 

But love yourself 

Exhibit your flaws 

I have had things tough

But have come through 

I certainly don't hate myself 

I fill myself in love 

Love I share with those special few 

You can do the same 

Little one just follow my lead 

I will show you the way

          Ahhh lovely write. It's terrible though when some feel they don't want to bring a child into the world because of the stat it's in. Yet we only get to hear the worst things in 'news'.

            Thank you! Yes it is a shame, and we do only hear the worst in the news. Hopefully there will be more peace and love in the future to tackle these problems.
