Silent Warrior

As a youth in the 60’s

I was so angry

that she wouldn’t stand up

in her own life.

The world outside

brave and suffering

for its freedom,

its dream, its hope;

defining a new age

while she remained

afraid . . .

to speak, to fight.

Secretly she lost my respect;

I was ashamed of her weakness.

It would take many years

for me to see

how wrong I was,

how strong she had to be

silently fighting

her battles in her own way;

many of her prayers bouncing

off the ceiling

while her faith in another day

strengthened her resolve

for her children’s futures.

  1. wow did u write this

    pretty great


  2. A fine tribute to a mother who had been raised in a time when women were expected to be Mrs. Cleaver. I am glad you finally appreciate her silent efforts.

  3. It explains how many women

    in that era fought battles quietly.

    They were frowned on if they

    voiced an opinion, stand.

    The poem was heart-felt.

  4. It's really nice, I dunno if its just me, but its kinda like prose, but in a more stylish (i can't seem to remember the word) way, which I consider really interesting. From me, (I don't like to rate poems) but it is really good, and i think it deserves a 10.
