Soulful Eyes – v2

A warrior, a leader, a patriot,
In the field, in the world, authentic,
Soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
Too many broken, shattered lives…
 
Soldiering on, ever forward,
But bending under the heavy weight,
Resolve leading her, guiding her,
Under God’s wing, His shadow,
The protection of unceasing prayer…
 
Holding onto hope for a future,
Without struggle, without war,
A stirring deep within her,
That this moment must pass,
Still hoping her dreams will take flight…
 
A warrior, a leader, a patriot,
In the field, in the world, authentic,
Soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
Too many broken, shattered lives…
