Because I am a Girl I ask…to be accepted for being myself
Because I am a Girl I believe…anything is possible.
Because I am a Girl I hope…for the best.
Because I am a Girl I wonder…what’s it all about.
Because I am a Girl I dream…things that are possible to achieve.
Because I am a Girl I remember…with gratitude all the good things in my life.
Because I am a Girl I like…my life.
Because I am a Girl I dislike…injustice wherever it rears its ugly head.
Because I am a Girl I feel…special and privileged.
Because I am a Girl I celebrate…every day being alive and living every moment.
- Anne Chambers
