Female Warrior

Born to be a true warrior never given the choice Being muted as a child i was not allowed a voice Growing into this woman with everyday being a fight And as a real warrior never questioned my very plight Fearlessly into the battles in one hand I held my sword In my other was my shield striding into monsters hoard Face to face turned into a head to head vilolent clash As their razor sharp claws reached out trying to slash Dodging to my right then my left I would then sway With heavy swings from my weapon I would slay Fate determined my life to living a warriors crusade All alone in this hard world Me, my shield and my blade

Only a woman of strength is capable of overcoming the harsh realities of life, Brenda, and you have proven more than once that you possess that internal strength. Your delightful poem reminds me of a Scandinavian shield-maiden!! HUgs // paul

I see the "Warrior" within you has roused herself once more. And why not? After all: therein resides that resolute spirit that refuses to be broken. Love this gritty defiance you portray throughout much of your poetry, Brenda -- invigorating stuff this!! In much admiration. :) john

John thank you so very much! Really I am glad you enjoyed them! Decided should shoe my strength and not so much my weaknesses! But then gain my strength can be just hat my weakness! All my affection
