Because of the Girl

                  By  Mimi Murray,

              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.
