Her life's story needed to be told,
For she defied society in her fold.
Amidst the ruins she stood tall,
For she was but a modern girl.
She didn't swagger but walked with pride,
She trudged on when others rested by the side.
She cared a damn for the societal call,
For she was but a modern girl.
She dressed for herself and not for others,
She voiced her opinion without the fireball smother.
She loved her family and friends of the fall,
For she was but a modern girl.
She didn't forget the wordly traditions,
She didn't forget the obligatory calls.
She cried for her own self in her real world small,
For she was but a modern girl.
Neither did she fear the hot weather nor the cold,
She gelled completely with both the young and the old.
She laughed everyday like the cutest doll,
For she was but a modern girl.
Her looks could freshen one up,
Her personality was an aura undefined.
Everyone saluted her free spirit without any gall,
For she was but a modern girl.
