She is Observant
Although quiet in her opinion
She has learnt to expand her awareness
Reading your thoughts, words and body language
Seeing you
In all of your truth
She can see when you throw compliments
Then slice them with contempt
She can see inconsideration
And that you are unaware
She can see in you that cruel streak
Unexpectedly arrive
She can see you when you condescend,
Patronise, unkind
She can see just what will happen
In the world economy
She can see just what you will do
And you do, eventually
She can see that although each and every one of us wants peace
It begins with pure survival and until full, fighting won’t cease
She can see that in the future
If we do not start today
The divide it will be deeper
The disparity, dismay
So in order to begin to
Make the world a better place
She must teach the future leaders
Act humble, lead with grace
Although she may be silent
Smiling peacefully, serene
There is not much that gets past her
Without her noticing
Do not think that she is weaker
She just works a different way
Expanding Observation
She thinks differently today
Can you see?
