The Best Night

Scott Whitby, 2023

Courageous girls and

triumphant women sing and play

their songs, their stories

at the end of their day


The little ones tell the future

and how their life unfolds

and the triumphant others sing for real,

their life is differently told


They sing together, they play

and make us happy with their sound

about what is good and bad

about the life they found


We listen, only partly understand

how this music, their message came

to be who they are, who we are

Aren't we all the same?
