Because the Girl

by Mimi Murray, National Operational Volunteer, GSUSA


Because the girl
     has a need,
We have an obligation.

Because the girl
     has a choice,
We must be her better choice.

Because the girl
     has high expectations,
We must excel.

Because the girl
     wants to explore,
We must be her guide.

Because the girl
     wants to belong,
We must open our arms.

Because the girl
     is searching for direction,
We must be her compass

Because the girl
     encounters times of turmoil,
We must be her safe haven.

Because the girl
     is tomorrow's woman,
We must care today.

Because of the girl…
We exist.
