Our Justice of Supreme Valor

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

We the people

Are planning your 90^th birthday.

In three years on March 15

This nation will gather

In a festival of gratitude,

Balloons of your wisdom will float

Colorful, soaring, joyous

A special Opera will sing your courage

And she, the American Vice-President

Will offer the first toast.

In our terrifying days of wobbling justice

You are America’s beacon of hope

And we watch you move between home and hospital

Making brilliant legal arguments.

And between now and your 90^th birthday

We pray, each in our way and together

May God guard your coming and going

Now and forever
