An Ardent fan of Ardern
Jacinda Kate Lauren Ardern – I know this to be true
You’ve won the hearts of millions – And the world looks up to you
With courage and compassion, you’ve faced each obstacle
You handled every crisis with composure and goodwill

An ardent fan of Ardern – I’m sure you will agree
She’s confronted every challenge with infinite empathy
In the darkest days our nation faced when Christchurch was attacked
She rose like Winston Churchill and condemned the heinous act

Enforcing gun law reforms our PM didn’t waste time
She took decisive action and came down tough on crime
With kindness and inclusion, she addressed the Nations grief
“Humanity, that’s all.” - She said - her unyielding belief

She responded saying “They are us” of the wounded and the dead
Authentic, warm and genuine - is how Jacinda lead
In a World that’s sadly lacking in leadership that’s sane
Our lady in the beehive is caring and humane

In our handling of Corona – New Zealand got it right
With Dr Bloomfield’s expertise and her profound insight
Exuding confidence and calm with her lockdown plan
Consistent and clear messaging with her travel ban

When White Island erupted on a fatal scale
Our champ in crisis management once more did not fail
Climate change, child poverty are upmost on her mind
Embracing her 5 million – leaving none behind

She’s graceful, tough and fearless - we know she’s got our back
The power to unite us - is what she doesn’t lack
Jason Walls was humbled when she asked about his sleep
Kindness prospers in the land of 30 million sheep

She chauffeured Stephen Colbert from the airport to her home
Multi tasking’s easy – with an X-X chromosome
Not pretentious, down to earth – she even sang along
So “let’s keep moving” – rhapsodize and sing Jacinda’s song

Aotearoa – Land of the long white cloud
Our shepherdess has sheltered us – she’s really done us proud
Resilience and endurance – in God’s own reigns supreme
Where men of every creed and race can live the Kiwi dream

In solidarity we stand – Land of the Silver Fern
For we have an awesome leader in incredible Ardern
I walk my talk with stats and not Jacindamania
For she’s demonstrated mana and you’ve seen her aroha

In the land of Hillary – the land of Rutherford
Being Kiwi means we know we do not kill the mockingbird
A charismatic leader – I love her – I’m “arderned”
We wish you nothing but the best – our love you’ve truly earned

    Indeed Great Lines Anita ! Jacinda Arden was indeed one of the Last few Good Leaders in this world of misery and Deepest pain to the maximum Population which is struggling for Survival. It was David Cameroon, then Angel Merkel and now Jacinda Arden who were always for the Poor and Down Trodden . Indeed we can only forsee very bleak days for Mankind (Hope I am Mistaken)
