We Could Have Been Warriors We Still Are

We could have been borders away from home Fighting battles we know not of Walking between bullets Stepping on iron made traps We could have been warriors But our hearts just wouldn't stop fighting War of love for the ones our heart beat for For those beautiful angels We just couldn't risk walking between bullets If not... We could have been warriors For our unborn replica inside our jewels The thoughts of never holding them All because of some war we know not of We want them the privilege of knowing us If not... We could have been warriors We aren't cowards, we are strong and brave! But the war within our hearts has been won By warriors without gun our hearts beat for If not.. We could have been warriors But here, we raise a toast To the true warriors who walked between bullets Who fought borders away from home Loyal soldiers who fought for their nation For the true heroes they are For the legacy they laid between dangers Like them... We could have been warriors Inspired by the movie "Love and Honor " directed by Kamen Velkovsky, Sheri Davani. © Abosede Ogundare 2016
