Fifty-two is ready to begin,
Invested in a new and bright career.
Futures are incorrigibly uncertain,
Tending to inspire both hope and fear.
Yet she finds the wherewithal within.

There is neither lock nor code nor curtain
Where her source of strength has always been,
Open to whoever would come near.
