Do It For Her

If you can't do it for yourself

Then do it for her

Do it for the girl

With big ideas

And even bigger dreams

The girl who would try to count the stars

But then sigh and say there was a lot

Although never too many sparkles in the sky

Do it for the kid

Who daydreamed about mermaids and unicorns

Along with wanting to be like Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The kid who collected books like gold

And read them as if they were diamonds

Do it for the child

Who climbed up the slide

More times than she slid down

And climbed up tree

But could never climb down

The child who was the princess of her own kingdom

No prince

No other princesses

If you can't do if for yourself

Than please still do it

Do it for the little girl

Who wanted to grow up

And couldn't wait to get older

Do it for her
