The Heart of a Warrioress
The heart of a warrioress
is tender yet strong
Her spirit is driven
her patience is long
Forever there is a fire
in her piercing eyes
she never surrenders
and utters no lies
The heart of a warrioress
protecting her own
is a tower of strength
and never alone
The heart shares in the time
of those who came before
it beats unabated
like the drumbeats of war
the plan of a warrioress
is to flee in the night
but never away
and never in fright
She runs towards the mountains
she holds her head high
with power and honor
she prays towards the sky
the cry of the warrioress
is haunting at best
the Great Spirit hears
but grants her no rest
until once again
she feels in tune with the earth
the heart of the warrioress
is destined from birth
This was written for me by a talented personal friend of mine who is obviously quite the poet, who I thank with all of my heart for being my friend, and for her thoughtfulness.
Thank you for thinking of me.

I love your warrioress picture .. that picture says volumes.
Forever there is a fire
in her piercing eyes
she never surrenders
and utters no lies
that is you … you are there no matter what ..to share the truth.
