What you teach her
Will make or break her
Resurrect to
Happiness or
Forsake her
About the world
And of heaven
Make her life cake
Or bread
Unleavened
More than this
You make a
Paradise
Or hell
From what you
Believe
And what you tell
What you let her find for
Herself, let her partake of
Or leave upon the shelf
Will make in her a mind
A girl open and free
Or a prisoner in a jail
She’ll be
Mando
