Betty Daily

The dreams of any woman in this business world
Is to stand up tall and walk through any door
To be admired for what she achieves
And to be respected for what she believes
To take on any challenge that might come her way
And to be equally proud to be a part of that day
The dreams of any woman as you might have guessed
Is the same as man’s
TO BE THEIR VERY BEST
