True Warriors

They have always been true warriors
surely this I know
their strength has so much going for it
and helps a man to grow
sharing in that light they shine
makes for a better me
the warrior that she is
helps me just to be

look at the first people
true warriors were they
the women had the children
and cleared the land each day
planted crops, sewed, carved and worked
their fingers to the bone
made clothes they did just everything
and seemingly alone

the men hunted the animals
and were warriors at war
but life and all its meaning
was womens work
adore
them I do, for their fortitude
their prowess and their soul
their beauty and their gentleness
and truly their control

everything about them is warrioresque
to me
I know for I love a warrior
and I think she does love me
her guidance and her inner strength
she so helps me to fly
for me she is the greatest
and for her, I would die
