Cherish your heart

Cherish your heart, cherish your dream;

protect your heart from those whom you do not want it to be seen.

Follow your goals,follow your life's aims;

whatever your life story, do not feel any shame.

Use your voice, ensure you are heard;

sing or shout out loud, like a beautiful bird.

Cherished is here, we want to support you all;

no matter what your story is, how big or how small.

You girls are very special, so please be bold;

don't ever feel afraid, we will help your story be told.

We know your worth, we hope you know it too;

if not, the Cherished mentors will help show you how to love you!

Cherish your heart, always cherish your dreams;

Cherished aims to show girls that they matter and that they are seen.
