sisters in arms – v3 #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine

the metal of their words
their lives, their choices,
sacrificing their dreams,
fidelity to their country,
standing in the breach,
their lives for their people,
but never losing themselves...
 
sisters in arms, together,
warriors in the battle, united,
standing beside brothers in arms,
joined together, one people,
to defeat this evil, this terror,
fighting valiantly, courageously,
for their nation to survive...
 
never losing their womanhood,
femininity, their beauty, power,
but choosing to sacrifice, giving,
living for their country, their people,
sure in their purpose, their call,
to stand vigilant, on point,
the tip of the spear...
