She was a warrior,

brave and true.

She suffered in silence.

With grace and dignity

unknown to man,

she showed no fear

in the face of death.

Agile body, clever mind, strong heart…

Tiny footsteps, full life.

Betrayed by her years

But

ever-loving and faithful —

She was a warrior,

brave and still.

Beloved by all,

she will be remembered.

Our jagged, imperfect hearts race on

Her gentle nature lost to this world

but found in the next.

She suffered in silence,

our brave warrior queen.
