On the front lines, in the trenches,
bandaging the wounded,
rising in the ranks to leadership,
defending their country,
fighting for its right to exist...
They stand with their brothers
the best daughters of Ukraine...
May we honor their call...
There is metal in their words
in their lives, their choices,
for they sacrifice their dreams,
in fidelity to their country,
standing in the breach,
suffering with their nation,
giving their lives for their people,
but never losing themselves...
They are sisters in arms, together,
warriors in this battle, united,
standing beside brothers in arms,
joined together, as one people,
to defeat Russia’s evil, this terror,
fighting valiantly, courageously,
against twelve years of genocide,
for their nation to survive...
They may be in body armor, on the front,
but they have never lost their womanhood,
their femininity, their beauty, power...
They choose to sacrifice, to give,
living for their country, their people,
unsure of the future, in this struggle,
But they stand sure in their purpose,
their call, to stand vigilant, on point,
as the tip of Ukraine’s spear...

sisters in arms – v4
women fighting in defense of Ukraine, in response to me sharing my poem,
“Разом об'єднані “, “Together United”:
“Thank you so much. It is very important to write about women warrior.
It’s a big part of our defence.”
This poem was originally written after reading post by defender of Ukraine
about serving as a woman in the army,
for International Women’s Day, March 8, 2025
