She Stands Strong

Long hair flows down
a copper colour that shines like gold in the setting sun
she's tall with golden skin
and bright blue eyes the colour of the water
that flows in the rivers around her
strong that's how to describe her
strong of mind and body
she will always do what it takes 
to ensure the saftey of those around her
though she has no special gifts
she has power to know the difference 
between right and wrong
she stands strong over those she watches
straight faced and calm, waiting, watching over
she is strong she is brave
she is me
