First published on International Women's Day. Milla was this little girl, but she was my little girl and she was so much more

This little girl who couldn't speak Spoke in so many ways This little girl who couldn't stand Stood for determination and strength This little girl who couldn't walk Inspired others by her lead This little girl who couldn't say how she felt Communicated everything with a smile This little girl who couldn't do anything Did everything This little girl who couldn't help herself Helped so many others This little girl who could never be forgotten Will always be remembered
