She stands strong (for Rani by request)





She stands strong
with work to do
as the the midnight sun
sets behind her
and the arctic wind
howls in her face

She stands strong
with little women to raise
as the deep creek
mumurs to her right
and the waves clammer
to her left

She stands strong
with adventures ahead
as seabound boats
float toward her
and skyward planes
fly away

She stands strong
with a life to live
and though the earth
shook beneath her
and the sky
crashed down on her
she stands strong
