She stands at the 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 she misses,
there's a groan from the crowd with some boo's
and some hisses.

A thoughtless voice cries out "Strike out the bum!!".
Tears fill her eyes, the game's no longer fun.

Remember she's just a little girl who stands all alone.

So open your heart and give her a break,
For it's moments like this a women can make.

Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget,
She's just a little girl and not a woman yet.
