As shown in figure , it is known that $M$ is the midpoint of side $BC$ of $\vartriangle ABC$. $\odot O$ passes through points $A, C$ and is tangent to $AM$. The extension of the segment $BA$ intersects $\odot O$ at point $D$. The lines $CD$ and $MA$ intersect at the point $P$. Prove that $PO \perp BC$.
