Poem from an Advocate

 

We're in for the long haul

And I am seeking everything you have to give

You will lose your sleep, your patience,

your sense of humor, and sometimes the

 support of the ones you love very much

And in return I can give you nothing

but the pride in being a woman

and a future for your daughters,

nieces and grandaughters

And the certain knowledge that at the 

end of your days

You will be able to look back and say

Once in your life you gave everything

you had for Justice.

Jill Ruckelhouse
