Empower the Woman in Me

I run to you, I am the apple of your eyes
Open your arms, take me in, I am the angel in disguise
I have taught you to bow down
To discover life in the bud you have sown
I have given you boundless joys
With my smile, my care, and love to rejoice
I am your little daughter, please let me grow
But not in the shadow of a son you would like to see me though
Stand up, recognize me, encourage the individual in me
Only a little appreciation will empower the woman in me

I stand by you, in case you slip and fall
You can always bank on me; I am your strongest wall
I have taught you to share
To discover life in affectionate care
I have given you selfless reasons
To support, protect, and give—irrespective of seasons
I am your sister, please let me come
In a world which is now yours, once also my home
Stand up, recognize me, encourage the individual in me
Only a little appreciation will empower the woman in me

I wait for you, I feel incomplete without you
The place in my heart you hold is of love true
I have taught you to embrace
To discover life in commitment of the highest grace
I have given you a home, a hearth
And hold your hand in sorrow and in mirth
I am your wife, please let me partake
I am with you in sleep and in wake
Stand up, recognize me, encourage the individual in me
Only a little appreciation will empower the woman in me

I breathe for you, as you grow in my womb
I will nurture you till the day I reach my tomb
I have taught you to love and respect
To discover life in every aspect
I have given you life itself
With my being, my whole, my entire self
I am your mother, don’t ever let me depart
From your life, your world, it is my inseparable part
Stand up, recognize me, encourage the individual in me
Only a little appreciation will empower the woman in me
