"Girls Lives Matter"

 

 

For two years I tossed and turn

Never knew why but I eventually learned

God was dealing with me during those restless nights

No questions asked, I just continued to sleep light

Having visions and dreams about reaching out to the youth

 

Several times I thought about my past, my risky lifestyle and how I went through

But God brought me out into a marvelous light

In spite of all my flaws my wrongs actually became right

Somebody prayed for me, mentored me throughout my entire life

Encouraged me to always put God first and they were so right

 

I never knew it took a village to raise a child, until I had my own

Wishing I had listened to my parents tell me “You reap what you sew”

Thinking I was always right, but of course I was wrong

Change is good, no; I must say it’s great

Especially when you can be honest to yourself and admit to your mistakes

 

Looking back in my past, I could’ve been-should’ve been dead

But my God said “No” he had plans for me ahead

So I’m here now at this point in my life

Ready to make a difference, helping another child get it right

 

I can now wake up and live my dreams

All praises to God, because I didn’t do a thing

As I pursue my career, continuing to go up the ladder

God saw fit for me to birth this great blessing

That I decided to call “Girls Lives Matter”
