Such a small body, yet so full of life
So small of lips, yet so full of love
Such a small hand, yet so full of might
So small of a heart, yet so full of blood

Learning so much, yet so young at heart
Growing so fast, how the time is vast
Showing what she’s done, look how far you’ve come
Honing your actions, what a girl you have become

Black robes, sharp hats
Big stage, long speeches
Call out your name, start walking
Now on this day, you’ve made us proud

Look at the crowd and take your bow

© Anayawa N., Lusaka, Zambia
