There Was a Little Girl

There was a Little Girl… There was a little girl who would have wanted like a falcon soar the skies and the ocean deep, would have braved or roamed the wilds and the flowery beds she would have loved satiate her eyes with… but into her world they stepped and designed a life for her she never had wished for … There was a little girl, who knew not why she did what she wanted not to… why they pressed on her and dreamt for her things she herself dreamt not of… there was a little girl, a bewildered little girl… and if by chance you meet some other little girls, tell them then, “Take courage , fight oppression And allow others not to shape your life for you”.
