TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE GIRL WITHIN

TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE GIRL WITHIN

You must take care of the Little Girl Within
Because of all the feelings in the Woman Without
That is the one that will be most lasting
Because the Little Girl Within is protected by the
Woman Without
She is the core of she who lives and accomplishes
She is her soul
She is nourished by the soup of warmth and kindness
She is sustained by the constant flow of knowledge
Yet, she remains the Child Within

A Little Girl who delights in finding out the wonderful ways
Of ants, antelopes
Who is excited about the unfolding and folding of each day
Who remembers her grand mom’s shortcakes
And mother’s advice
Who imbues the Woman with graciousness
Who settles her with a tiny hand
So you must be good to the Little Girl Within
Or else
The Woman Without will not like you.

"I really love this Little Girl. She is the best of me. She demands protection and dignity. I must protect her even when I am afraid to speak up for the woman without. She compels me to act. She is not selfish; but she deserves respect and imbues The Woman with the strength to expect and demand it. I say to all: "You Must Take Care of Her".
