Kamala

Knocked down a pervasive glass ceiling And left the racist bigots reeling, Meteoric rise to Vice-Presidency And the praise for her ascendency Lets little girls know the sky is the limit And, in America, that is the prevailing spirit.

Great poem for a great woman. Perhapsthe thrid line would scan better if you could remove the Vice before Presidency. Fingers crossed, maybe one day/

Hi L Milton, I agree; Kamala becoming Vice President lets little girls of color and girls, period! See that sky is the limit and that they can dream big and reach for the stars. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Thanks, Alexis. It was about time! IMHO, the sky should be the limit for every boy and girl in America. And why isn't it???

The time for a woman to be vice president was long overdue, Milton. And she's certainly given hope to all little girls and inspiration to shoot for the stars. This is a lovely tribute to Kamala!

I certainly agree, Carolyn. In fact, I think that it's time we had a woman president. Think how many countries in the world have already had one...or two...but not us! Thanks for reading my work. I appreciate you!
