Warrior

Resplendent in her trappings Yet her smile is not her own Quietly she watches A queen upon her throne Soft and gentle as a lamb Her burdens you won't know A helpless girl you may see But it is all to fool her foe It searches for a weakness Feeling infinitely smart But this lamb she is no coward In her beats a warrior's heart She sheds her crown of roses No longer can she wait Preparing for the battle That will soon decide her fate The conflict rages inside her Fervent in it's onslaught It's no match for her light Casting out the shadows Her joy and love bid her fight She is not alone in this war But it must feel so at times An army of angels hold her The peace they bring sublime A fighter an example of grace Her courage I deeply admire Putting others above herself 'Tis to be like her that I aspire
