To A Strong Woman Poem by Michael Saurer

Fighting the devil on your own
even hell is made of stone
so it can be blown apart
by your own will and your own heart

You are strong
and don't need help
my heart's wrong
to listen for a yelp

Fighting battles by yourself
without using any stealth
winning every single one
in the end I'll know you won

You are stronger
than all the rest
You'll last longer
than the very best

In the end you'll have proven to us all
that a strong woman will climb the highest wall
she does not need my offered assistance
but wins even if men keep their distance

You are just tougher
than one realizes
when the world turns rougher
you still master every crisis

But believe me just one time
as I tell you with this rhyme
you are strong
but also wrong
You are not winning on your own
not even fighting all alone
because I'm with you all the time
with my heart, my soul and with this rhyme
