I Knew A Girl
I knew a girl, who all of her life, all she wanted was to be accepted for who she was.
I knew a girl, who all of her life, all she wanted was to be liked for who she was on the inside, not what she could give to others
I knew a girl, who all of her life, all she wanted was to be loved for her smile, her laugh, and her big heart.
I knew a girl, who wanted to feel wanted, not made to feel a disappointment.
I knew a girl, who all she ever did was say and do everything everyone expected of her.
I knew a girl, who sacrificed all her hopes and dreams just to please others.
I knew a girl, who never criticized anyone, always kept her thoughts to herself, but instead was criticized over every little thing.
I Knew A Girl!
I knew a woman, who saw there was the endless pattern continuing day in and day out
I knew a woman, who all she ever wanted were to see smiles and laughter, and acceptance of her big heart
I knew a woman, who wanted to feel as if she was not a disappointment
I knew a woman, who continued to do everything for her family.
I knew a woman, who tried every single day to have some hopes and dreams.
I knew a woman, who felt as though she just couldn’t win.
I knew a woman, who finally looked in the mirror!
I knew a woman, who loved who she saw standing right in front of her.
I knew a woman, who saw strength inside of her
I knew a woman, who was proud of who she had become
I knew a woman, who saw a big heart
I knew a woman, who was going to smile no matter what!
I knew a woman, who was not going to become the broken little girl
I knew a woman, who had no regrets
I knew a woman, who started living her dreams
I Knew A Woman!
