From picking roses out in the garden
To bring to your mother
As a gift of gratitude
For the life you not once asked for
To washing the oak wood floor
Before father gets home
Like a good girl shouldGirlhood is full of beauty
That will one day be taken
And replaced by responsibility
You have your place
Don't dare disown it
For they will disown you.
