The warrior stood

On the edge of the bloodied battleground

Where she once raged

With the dark grey sky above her

And crimson black earth below

In the distance a battle still raged

And the slight hint of longing

Turned her eyes towards its cries

With a heavy heart she turned away

Knowing that nothing would ever compare

To the victories she once knew

But time and life moved on

So she carried her battle scarred body back

To the gentle green pasture

Of home

The path that stretched out before her remained unknown

But one thing was certain

The warrior’s heart would beat inside her

All the days of her life
