Because of the Girl By Mimi Murray, National Operational Volunteer 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 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 teach her to lead today. Because of the girl…We exist!
