She is a warrior, a leader, a patriot,
in the world, in the field, authentic,
soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
too many broken, shattered lives…
Soldiering on, ever forward,
resolve leads her, guides her,
though she carries a heavy weight,
She is safe under God’s wing,
the protection of unceasing prayer…
She holds onto hope for a future,
without struggle, without war,
a stirring deep within her,
Hope that her dreams will take flight
that this moment will pass…
She is a warrior, a leader, a patriot,
in the world, in the field, authentic,
soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
too many broken, shattered lives…
