Warrior – Version 2

Posted on November 1, 2018 by Penny Wilson Writes

*I’ve had some suggestions about a few of my pieces from a friend. I’m taking those pieces and reworking them. So you may see some things here that look familiar. I feel this new version of Warrior flows better and makes more sense. I hope you enjoy it. ❤

She does not fear the battle.

Her battle started long ago.

She knows her worth.

She will not cower.

Nor compromise.

She sees tomorrow

for the daughters

and the sisters.

Tomorrow’s legacy.

She will stand tall

in the face of those

that would cast her

to the shadows.

Those that do not

want her truth to be heard.

Tomorrow brings hope,

for a time when

she can lay down her sword,

and her sisters will go

Free.
