Cuida Tus Hijas
(take care of your girls)
He lurks in his own darkness,
ready to steal
their smile,
their song,
their dream,
their light–
at any age
with a word,
a look,
a touch,
an other.
Does he realize what he does?
Does he care?
No
Cuida tus hijas.
Teach them
to be
strong.
Teach them to treasure
themselves,
their minds,
their bodies,
their smile,
their dreams
their
song–
so that
no one
can
ever
steal
their
light.
