The scent is good
                                    Texture is the best, made from chiffon
                                    very beautiful, good looking
                                    in the eyes of me

                                    Bought in a slum market
                                    It’s so cheap
                                    Whenever I think of it,
                                    I see a humble girl,
                                    who taught me a great lesson
                                    in life

                  Fossiah Mwende    I bought it as a gift
               MY PRE CIOUS         to an unborn girl child
                       DRESS        I prayed hard to God
                                    to ever bless me with a
                                    girl child.
                                    And God was so faithful
                                    to give me one

                                    When I dress my baby girl I see
                                    kindness. This is because I remember
                                    an orphan girl
                                    whom I took care of at my age of 14
                                    By taking good care of the small girl
                                    I developed a
                                    heart of caring and being kind that
                                    taught me to be strong no matter  how people
                                    pin you down
                                    with what you do


                                    23 years ago
                                    a girl child was born
                                    into hardship
                                    Angels were sent to her
                                    to better her future
