Poets & Poetry

One woman army

On life’s harsh roads,
She wobbled and she slipped.
But she never fell.
And that made her a Warrior!

She got roses with thorns.
She got apples with worms.
But she never refused.
And that made her a Warrior!

At times, she was torn and sad.
She got cuts and she bled.
But she was never afraid.
And that made her a Warrior!

There was no love.
There was no sympathy.
But she survived everything with dignity.
And that made her a Warrior!

She was not a born Warrior.
Life made her.
