The Warrior

She tells me her problems,

Where she's been

the troubles she's gone through....

And she's putting everything in perspective

Not that one or two point ****

it's more like the thousand plus one kind.

First she starts off simple,

common wear and tears

and it's not so hard to handle.

But then she moves on.

I'm talking that rocket ship type of moving on

The kind of moving on

that can just blow you out of the water

and she holds her head high,

She's strong.

A Warrior.

Maybe not the Roman Coliseum type of warrior,

but if I close my eyes

turn my head to the side

and spin in a circle

I can imagine.

I can imagine my lady Hercules

winning it all

and nothing challenges her.

Because she's strong

A warrior.

And because of that

she learns to fight.

Battling the three headed dogs

the pig headed serpent goats

just to sleep at night.

So when she dreams,

someone else takes her role

as the fighter,

and she's more than glad for that...

to be somewhere she can rest,

Just to wake up and start again.

But she doesn't complain,

because she's strong,

A Warrior

and she puts it all in perspective.
