But being a girl is somehow the best thing I have ever experienced in my life…

Doris Day - Que Sera Sera

When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother: "What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

Since I am just a child in school,
I asked my teacher: "What should I try?
Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love,
I asked my lover: "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?"
Guess what my lover said:

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother: "What will I be?"
"Will I be pretty?" "Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly:

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

" It is wonderful to be a woman "

" Mum, why do I look so ugly ?? "
I used to ask my Mum that many times when I was a kid. I was somewhat silly thinking I was truly an "ugly duck".
" Honey, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever had "
She answered me with a sad look in her eyes.

When I grew up and seemed to be more realistic in life.
" Mum, why do women suffer a lot, especially in love? "
I asked her after my very first love broke my heart.
" Because women are more sensitive, they also mature earlier than men, dear "
My Mum simply said.

Now, I keep asking her
" Mum, why are women so awesome? They don’t just look great, but they do balance great between career and life? "
" Because women now are very confident; they know exactly what buttons to push to get exactly what they want "
" Do you enjoy being a woman? "
And my Mum answered me gently
" Sure,'cause it’s wonderful to be a woman, sweetheart ".
