They are every woman in future legends

Inspired by warrior women.

They are every woman in future legends
By Michelle Morris

Not every woman gets roses
Sometimes it's mostly thorns 
So often they wish for flowers 
But then reality finally dawns

Because there are these women warriors 
They're everywhere that you go 
They help keep this world moving
They always keep the lights aglow

No darkness can obscure them
No monster can keep them scared 
They've overcome their fears
And no demons can get ahead 

They go forth where Angels fear to tread
They'll stand strong against the storms 
The winds cannot hold them back
They're brave yet soft and warm 

They are mothers and they are daughters 
They are sisters and aunts and friends 
They are every woman who ever lived
They are every woman in future legends

Forget anonymous being a woman 
For so many centuries in history 
We are here to make a difference 
We are memorable in our victory 

Not every woman gets flowers
Not every woman gets what she deserves 
But every single woman makes a difference 
Please never forget their service
