Warrior
Resplendent in her trappings
Yet her smile is not her own
Quietly she watches
A queen upon her throne
Soft and gentle as a lamb
Her burdens you won't know
A helpless girl you may see
But it is all to fool her foe
It searches for a weakness
Feeling infinitely smart
But this lamb she is no coward
In her beats a warrior's heart
She sheds her crown of roses
No longer can she wait
Preparing for the battle
That will soon decide her fate
The conflict rages inside her
Fervent in it's onslaught
It's no match for her light
Casting out the shadows
Her joy and love bid her fight
She is not alone in this war
But it must feel so at times
An army of angels hold her
The peace they bring sublime
A fighter an example of grace
Her courage I deeply admire
Putting others above herself
'Tis to be like her that I aspire
