An Army of Women
By Peggy Lee
Kennedy
Mother
Did
you wonder?
Who would take
over
when you were gone.
Who would be
here
to take your
place
when you could not stand to
march
or even
walk
when you fell and could not get
up
not once
more
when your voice had lost all sound
and
when you were no
longer
seen or heard on this
earth
Did you
worry?
Who will care for your
family
Did you
wonder?
Who now will carry on the struggle
for peace,
and sing the song of
freedom
for women and men and for our
planet
Mother
in
your place
we need an army of
women
since you are gone
