Girl Child Poem by Muskaan Mehta

Why? When a girl child is born,
Her family and parents mourn.
Why? When a girl comes to earth,
She is killed even before birth.
Why? A girl is always ignored,
Why not she is always adored?
Why? The government doesn't deal it with an iron hand
And see to it that in latter and spirit it is banned
Why? People are passive towards girls,
I feel they are precious as pearls.
Girl is an emerging soul of faith and light
In her life she must have day and never night
A girl's life becomes difficult as she grows
And her tension slowly and gradually flows
She grows into a woman and acquires skills
But is engrossed with many social ills
But still, a woman smiles when feels like screaming
And sings when she feels like crying
A woman cries when she is glad
And laughs when she is sad
She can handle a lot of trouble
And carry heavy burdens even double
We forget the difficult woman life
Her love, her care, her sacrifice
You cannot estimate her sharpness
She gives light and removes darkness
A girl is very important in one's life
Never hurt her with either words or knife
