Son Of A Warrior Poem by Augustine Evans Chikuna

Bruised, wounded and beaten but you don't stand down you can't be defeated.
Stabbed, betrayed and deceived but you don't give up you won't be routed.
Every day is a war and you are always ready to fight, your zeal to conquer can't be restricted.
The battles you fight make you a warrior, that's the only title with which you are befitted.
Like you are a made of steel, arrows of pain strike at you from every angle, but you stand and defend.
Never a tear that drops from your eyes, even your enemies know, you, they can't offend.
Your enemies know no victory because your power is always amended.
A woman of mightiness, your power is prayer that's why it never fades.
A woman of mightiness your prayer is power, that's why it never fails.

Another source of your strength is the love you possess that is unmatched.
Your kindness knows no boundaries, it can never be caged.
Your goodness is unparalleled, but it is not a weakness birthed.
Faithfulness you have made your trait, you are never two-faced.
A warrior with humility, you leave your enemies confused.
A warrior with spiritual wisdom, you can never be fooled.
You know patience and self-controlleaveyour enemies muddled.
You know true joy comes from peace, that's why you cannot be swindled.

A Deborah of your generation, you go on the battle frontline,
With your knees on the ground, you fight and win.
Like Sarah you always stand taller than your obstacles.
You stand out and prove difference from other women like Rebecca.
A warrior like Esther, you are willing to lay down your life for your family.
Like Ruth, you work hard for your family.
In your time of need, you turn to God like Hannah.
A true warrior like Anna, you put aside your physical needs,
Aat that moment like Miriam your worship becomes real.
Like the woman of Zarephath your perception is divine,
That's why like Mary, you submit to the will of God.

A warrior with wise and sound advice,
To your counsel my ears are always inclined.
Your words, I follow and they are never misleading.
Your ways, I shadow and they are always righteous.
Your bravery, I admire and like you it gives me valiance.
My affection towards you is inordinate.
Verily, there is no better feeling than being a son of a warrior.
