I'm With Her

Why I'm with Her


I took a careful look at all the hard won
good in the world she's done

The list is long
Much longer than mine

Longer than most I'd bet-
And the bad? Fine

it's longer too; the growing pains
leaders often go through-

I suspect it's the high cost of becoming so
involved with the political status quo

Though from where else might one
more effectively plant the seeds of

a movement rooted in the love
of women and children first?

I see warmth in her laugh-
how full it is of life

And even in her anger
I sense a mother's fierce care

But most important to me, regardless
of what you may think of her

She's going to inspire confidence
in young girls everywhere.

Way longer than mine

Longer than most I'd bet-

it's longer too; the growing pains

But there's warmth in her laugh-
how full it is of life

And even in her anger
I sense a mother's fierce care

And most importantly, regardless
of what anyone may think of her

She's going to inspire confidence
in young girls everywhere.
