~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As young children,
we knew
what we wanted
and how we were going
to get there.
Time passed.
We were channeled
into tightly scripted shoes
of "Do's" and "Do Nots".
This was particularly true
for Girls and Women
in a culture
which elevated
the Male
above all else.
I am soon
to be 63
and I am pleased
to report
that the scripts
are being tossed away.
That fire
the Young Child
knew
still burns bright
inside of Me.
This time,
it is not going
to be denied.
The World needs
unfettered Women's Voices Now.
