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! .
