Dear Francesca by Jowan Safadi

Dear Francesca, I love you
I love everything you say or do
You walk where most would fear to go
How are you so warm in a kingdom of snow

Cara mia, you carry grace
With fire in your heart and peace on your face
You write your reports — but they’re alive
Your words give us hope to survive

And I know it’s not easy
But Francesca Albanese
Is a woman who
Can do
What no man ever can

Dear Francesca, please stay strong
I know you’ve been fighting for far too long
Facing monsters, with mirrors in your eyes
We all see the truth, we all hear their lies


Oh Bella, you make them shake
They try to break you, but you won’t break
They throw their weight, but you don’t bend
You’re not their puppet, you’re our friend

And I know it’s not easy
But Francesca Albanese
Is a woman who
Can do
What no man ever can
