A Strong Woman

A Strong Woman

A Poem by Veronica
"

I wrote this after learning of my grandmother who had suffered a life of horrendous abuse. I was told she kept her cool, never judged and was every bit a stoic, graceful lady.

"

A strong woman is--


Graceful, stoic elegance,

Quiet, avoiding harmful consequence,

She appeases the violent man with soft words,

Forceful to stand for justice,

Vision is her resolution,

Fortified endurance tested back and blue,

Valor guides her steps to protect her precious few.


She fears no guilt,

Her eyes are transparent.

She laughs wholeheartedly,

Embracing the good of life with open arms,

Her affluence cannot be robbed,

Her innocence cannot be tainted,

Nor the light of her soul wane from shadows attempting to bind her.


Her presence;

Warm,

Welcoming,

Pure.


A strong woman is my mother,

Overcoming a weak man's dark spite.

Poetry is usually not my thing as I'm usually bad at it. Everyone has a poem in them at some point.
