Once a woman cloaked in courage
Draped in danger, and robed in risk
Stained my eyes with frightening fury
And swiftly added to me to her list
She came so quickly, and left in such a hush
With bare hands she crafted a masterpiece
Each finger was a fine paintbrush
And each breath an easing release
She saw much more than you or I
Her glare illuminated truth
She witnessed pain, humor, and lies
Her lens one she alone could peer through
As she crossed my path she whispered a song
Hardly audible in a world of pointless noise
Her melody urged me not to step wrong
As had each of her other poor boys
Her strength nearly choked me
And her love clearly chilled me
Her honest words nearly broke me
And her grip finally killed me
And on that last day, she made herself heard
With a short phrase left for each who'd been scorned
In her breathy song, I heard three simple words
I sung along as she whispered "You were warned"
