The greatest battles since days of old, <br /> <br />We hear the stories now and then, <br /> <br />As down the centuries their echoes are told. <br /> <br />They're fought by the mothers of men. <br /> <br />The strongest armour their truth will pierce, <br /> <br />A mother's love raised to such height, <br /> <br />That there's nothing exists on earth so fierce. <br /> <br />For him to the death she will fight. <br /> <br />With no hesitation, she will strike his foe, <br /> <br />With him standing next to her tall. <br /> <br />She will teach him to exact justice, as through life they go. <br /> <br />For to balance situations, one and all. <br /> <br />Then she stands back in pride with a smile, <br /> <br />As he forward in battle steps out. <br /> <br />She's taught him to always go just one more mile, <br /> <br />For his foe to seek and rout out. <br /> <br />She'll always be there, on each level exist <br /> <br />For no warrior is e'er so strong. <br /> <br />She will guide his way forward through life's every twist, <br /> <br />Whatever it takes, or how long. <br /> <br />So please never doubt the stories you've heard. <br /> <br />The truth is the same now as then. <br /> <br />The greatest battles there are in this world, <br /> <br />Are fought by the mothers of men!<br /><br />Rosi Caswell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-matriarchs/
