Lily

There's a woman named Lily 

who just set out with a dream, 

She put her best foot forward

Even though she didn't know how long

and hard chasing it would be 

In the end when she saw herself succeed 

It was worth all the struggles that she'd faced in between, 

that girl she is a genius and a queen 

Proud of her for standing firm

even when things looked discouraging 

She wasn't giving it up for anything 

& that's inspiring
