You Can'T Question Her

"YOU CAN'T QUESTION HER" you can't question her: the crow caws when she wakes to fight the world. she's vulnerable with a heart wrapped in barbed wire, walk in her country shoes, you'll see the wear and tear is her life, her country shoes are made of steel. you can't question her: her arms swing. her fists hit in defense, her eyes are closed, teeth are shown, she fights for more than truth. you can't question her: her smile is the guard of dreams. her dreams dance and play like children under the sun, the fools laugh, judge and hate, as her resilience weeds out the dead spirited. you can't question her: her fight is the strength others carry, her spirit is the standing of sequoias, her purity is the snow on the first day of winter, the crow caws when she wakes to fight the world.
