Eldest She-Warrior

She greets with a smile
A tinge of laugher
But through slanted eyes
Watches the wayward traveler

She is the eldest warrior
Watching over her daughter
Offering her best advice

She does everything
In sequence
Sometimes repeating the pattern
A warrior
Stomping her feet
Before resting her tired head

She checks the door
Then checks it again
To keep the darkness
From slipping in.

    1. She really is. She, herself, has been through a lot in her life. I am constantly surprised by her.
