Women Flourish Now
Women have begun to flourish in the past forty years.
They are taking honors in directing, publishing, and writing.
They are fearless in showing their voices.
Women are not content to sit back and allow others to live.
They are grabbing a little gusto for themselves
Feeling they have earned it, and they are correct.
Women are on almost equal footing with men now.
My granddaughter played football this year on an almost all boys’ team
I was not crazy about that, but I admired that the team welcomed her.
Women are vice presidents and presidents of corporations.
Women are on the front lines during battles.
Women are free for maybe the first time ever
Free to be the best person they can be,
And free to build up their men and their children
Free to live
