Safe. Dignified. Yes.

She danced with joy, and clapped her hands

Delighted, hopeful, naive.

She’s been told she can “be anything she wants”

The glass ceiling was smashed

A sexual revolution liberated women

She can vote!

Nothing stands in her way.

 

Except.

 

Except.

 

 

Except.

 

She is, however right to be hopeful.

And to embrace her life with joy.

For she is powerful

And her vote is counted.

Change is coming.

 

There may yet be dark times

But She will endure

There may be resistance

But she is strong.

 

There is a quiet revolution

Gaining strength as more understand

Knowledge.

Love.

Autonomy.

Joy.

Hope.

Delight.
