if little girls grow
Some little girls grow up to be wives,

Some little girls grow up to be mistresses

Others grow up to be that aunt, weird maybe

Eccentric maybe, alone maybe,

smelling of pets and

mothballs maybe.

And other little girls grow up to be neither.

When you read to your little girl,

the fairy tales prince charming,

Shrek, pink and fluffy.

When you hug her good night

Do you smile sadly,

Do you wonder what her lot in life will be

Or if she will have a lot at all

What makes us who we are

Who decides the decisions we make

Can we change it do we want to

Are we blind to ourselves or do we see too much

Is it in our control our actions

If we fall what makes us get upand when we get up what makes us fall

Some little girls,

some little girls never stop being little girls
