Inside and out
Small but tall
Petite yet firm
Quiet and strong
Long flowing jet black hair
Fair skin rarely touched
Pretty full lips sparingly shared
Heart and soul burned to iron
To battle the world at hand
A brave warrior you have become
Armor surrounds your being
If only I could wisp you away
In both time and space
To when you were just a little girl
To a place worthy of you
When and where you could be
A woman with a trusting heart
With an ocean-wide expansive soul
Free as the wind to become
The woman you were meant to be
And I
A man
Worthy of your love
