International Day of the Girl Child
To some, you are the inferior gender
To some, you are the inferior gender
To others you are the subject of abuse, discrimination and ridicule
To most you are the perfect gift to mankind
Some show their displeasure when you are born
They ask why God has brought you into their lives
Don’t let their attitude and displeasure affect you
To most you bring happiness and kindness
You are the equal gender
Your birth is not by accident
We will support you, to combat any act of discrimination and abuse against you
For in you we trust, that there will be a pathway to peace in the world
Happy International Day of the Girl Child
