Elle

A girl is born - Elle

So tiny, brand new
She coos
She cries
She strikes in us invisible ties

A beautiful soul
We've lost control
A daughter fills that void
From hole to whole

A sister she becomes - Elle
Shares her secrets
Keeps yours too
She bugs
She hugs
Gets into trouble
By protecting you double

Bounded by blood
A friend for life
Siblings so different
But so alike

A wife she becomes - Elle
Gives up her name
But remains the same
Till death do them apart
Gives him her trust
For him she must

A mother she becomes - Elle
A guardian to you
An angel who guides
A teacher in disguise
Silent strength she provides

She shelters
She loves
Elle does

A woman is Elle, she's all of these
A ladder she climbs
Throughout her life
Daughter, Sister, Mother and Wife

So many roles
And yet one soul
