Never underestimate the women.
For they are strong and powerful,
While being caring and sweet.
They are loved in a child’s eye.

Never underestimate the weak.
For they have struggled
And will surprise you in so many ways.
They are strong in a child’s eye.

Never underestimate the elderly.
For they have endured much
And hold much wisdom.
They are admired in a child’s eye.

Never underestimate the young.
For they see things differently,
And they are the future of our world.
Never underestimate a child’s eye.

Never underestimate a child’s eye.
