Save the girl child

October 08, 2015 04:22 pm | Updated 04:22 pm IST

A girl is a doll,

The princess of the house.

Loved so much,

So pretty and cute.

Everywhere,

Like a little fairy,

Solves all problems,

Never demands,

So affectionate,

Till the very end.

Why then are we so cruel to her,

And kill her in the womb?

Think about it,

And take an oath,

To give her the right

To survive.

Sakshi Papat , VII C, Kendriya Vidyalaya- Army Nagar, Pune
