Life's Battle
Her eyes tell a story
Of caution, of pain, of a past that won’t fade.
Her smile, a warm glow,
Touches her eyes like a whispered secret.
I see a strength in her,
A kindred spirit I recognize.
She saw it in me too,
A shared understanding.
Now I watch as she faces her demons,
With a courage I can only aspire to.
She takes on the wounds of compromise,
Unflinching, a warrior hardened by battle.
Standing firm, armored in love and kindness,
Guarding her heart; a fortress under siege.
She is strength.
Not some macho posturing, but the real thing.
