SHE WALKS

A Poem About Vice President Kamala Harris

September 20 2020 illustration of American president and Vice President candidate with 2020 election. Democrat Kamala Harris — Photo by Steicha

She walks with purpose
With her head high
And her back straight
She walks with Power
So long denied to all
The Shes before her
She walks with Legacy
That she will leave
To all the little Shes
Who will walk with
Purpose and Power
Now that She has led the way.

poem by June Westerfield

NOTE: I wrote this poem based on a beautiful and iconic photo of Vice President Harris as she walked into Congress for President Biden’s first address to Congress. However, I do not have permission to use that photo for this publication. I think the poem stands on it’s own, though.
