Saviour Queen
"Alive is the Warrior Queen, saviour in dire distress,
beautiful as ravishing Rose, undaunted and fearless !"
By Poet
a dainty lass, cocooned with love,
delightful and merry...
Alive is the warrior queen,
poised, graceful and ~ carefree!
in the lap of lustrous nature,
elegance existed!
Prince trotted by, caught glimpse of her...
vision unexpected.
fell in love, with charming damsel,
breathtaking and pure.
kind and brave, believed in her strength,
beauty he waited for.
fascinated, begged for her hand,
Prince refused to fail,
Alive is the warrior queen,
stranger than fairytale.
blissful, gleeful, tranquil until
tragedy unforeseen
young King left her with infant child.
princess turned valiant Queen,
no tiara of gold and gems,
jewel-encrusted throne,
saving country with strongest hands,
defending bravery shown. .
demure Princess mustered all strength,
Queen on a horseback,
warrior suit on, husband's sword,
Jhansi, in foreign attack.
protecting from cruel enemy
Fighter Queen dauntless,
Love from deceased husband,
blessings from beloved parents.
Warrior Queen went to battle
on loyal horse, carrying infant
fought until her last drop of blood
shed on her dearest land.
Alive is the Warrior Queen,
saviour in dire distress,
beautiful as ravishing Rose,
undaunted and fearless !
