Mary Grace Dembeck Poet Rhyme

Owed To Christine Blasey Ford

OWED TO CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD  

Christine Blasey Ford
You fill me with awe,
I'll never forget
What I heard and saw
When you first appeared
Before all those men -
Spoke truth to power
Again and again.
You filled me with pride
Yes - even with bliss,
I yearned to hug you
And give you a kiss.
Riddled with fear, and
Entrenched in the dark
You dared to come out
And you lit a spark
In all of us women
And in men, too,
Who were too afraid
To be brave, like you.
God bless you and keep
That courage, that spark,
Because, Doctor Ford, 
You're my Joan of Arc!
