She stands at home plate with her heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded, the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help her, she stands all alone,
a hit at this moment would send her team home.
The ball nears the plate, she swings and misses,
there's a groan from the crowd with some boos and hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike out the bum!"
Tears fill her eyes, the game's no longer fun.
Remember, she is just a little girl who stands all alone.
So open your heart and give her a break,
for it's moments like this a woman you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget,
she's just a little girl and not a woman yet.
