She always reminded me of a princess...
a Warrior Princess
long shiny blackish hair
smooth brown skin
chiseled cheekbones
eyes like deep pools of midnight
even her name was exotic
I watched her from afar....
learned her strategies
courage
resilience
purpose and drive
generosity and kindness
But no one knew the hidden battle she endured....
until much later
how the enemy
manipulated her trust
held her captive
overpowered her
pierced her soul with arrows of shame
Yes, for a while.... my
Warrior Princess was
wounded
broken
fractured into tiny pieces of her former self
But now, once again, stronger than ever....
she rises
like
a
Phoenix
treasured
delivered
she has overcome...
persevered
persevered
discovered her true worth
claimed her rightful place in the line of nobility...
anew and restored
now, my
victorious
Warrior
Princess
for L and everyone who has overcome great challenges in life (which is probably all of us)
