As she walks by in platform sandals
A portrait of pain and strength
The perseverance is aged by a life lived on tanned feet
Innumerable moments there have been since her fervor has strolled by my door
Timeless panicked seconds when she should stay but still she goes
…
Not always red, white or blue but forever a rainbow hue
I am needlepoint aware of where she walks today
She strides by with mask on and alms shared
…
It is not up to me to cast doubt upon whom else be within her infantry
To ponder her journey requires me to be just another enemy
