Powerful

You are powerful, I see it in your walk, puissance;
proud and strong as the mighty oak.
Your words speak with the strength of our people;
your shoulders hold their plight.
You have never waivered steady, steadfast;
your strong feet which walked the uneven paths;
facing pain, knowing that you will overcome.
They whisper softly; be strong, be prideful; we are with you;
every step you take; we are with you, never looking back;
only remembering, yet, learning from the past.
