She That Lived

You were born so adorable,

You bounced so hard and so cheerfully,

We all thought you were so full of the bubble.

Honor and glory you so brought.

Your birth had been and is still is a blessing.

You bring joy and happiness,

We all think you are not similarly made.

Growing, they called you cute,

You so amazed your counterparts that they became mute.

You were sometimes summoned as the mirror of beauty.

Humbly proud, you commanded confidence.

No mistakes! Your wish of perfection,

Every opportunity made use of.

You refused to be equally least,

You became Yaa Asantewaa conquering hearts.

To cleverly dumb hunters,

An Aphrodite for a quest.

You were soon made a contest.

Leg over leg, hand passing through hair,

You made a difference,

Just letting your light shine,

This, not just an occurrence

But solely your purpose.
