Step by Step,
Arriving Together in
Equal footing,
at The End of the Day.
What they don’t reveal –
Is that Pandora was Brave to open The Box.
Alice Little Courageous falling down the Rabbit Hole.
Belle Fortescue Valiant taking on the Beast.
Red Riding Hood Fearless against the Wolf.
Snow White Selflessly helping the 7 Dwarves.
Dorothy Lionhearted defeating The Wicked Witch.
For to reach equal footing
Heroine’s must be free & able to act
Just as does the Hero.
The Fairy Godmother’s Intelligence saving Cinderella’s life.
Gretel’s Cunning in cleverly defeating The Witch.
Polly Plumber fearlessly Equaling Digory Kirke in Narnia.
Hermione Granger for being The Greatest Witch of her age.
Matilda who Leads by example, standing up to bullies.
Luna Lovegood for Finding solutions amongst myriad of magic, unseen by the casual eye.
And so.
At the end of the day.
Be Brave & Humble:
Allow Heroines their Magic
Strength & Brain,
So they may
stand Proud in the sun.
& also Save the Day.
