Listen to poem:

She Will Not Bow

She will not bow or break, stand in the shadow of your mistakes
But show strength, and resilience, that she still has what it takes

She has a mission and as a destiny without you it will be fulfilled
As your foolhardiness thwarted her true dreams will still be filled

Colours shown for their true intended, intentions, are suspended
Falsehoods exposed of which past words that beguile pretended

As she fears not the ground that upon she has to toil, or to travel
Rejects all the traps that are primed, that she as needs to unravel

She has a home in which to defend, so its land, as all of its wealth
Left un-protected to guard, where she has to use all of her stealth

To bypass the greedy eyes, and hands of others intentions to gain
The last of her royal designated blood line, and hers only to retain

Sword in hand she will not bow, or break to this right as to defend
This legacy given to her only as to which on her it now all depends
