She stood there -in silence,
not a single word to speak.
She stood there in sadness,
not a single smile to keep.
The world woudnt stop for her,
nor would her clock sleep.
All she did was sit on her couch and weep!
Alas!
She got up from her couch,
not letting another tear seep.
She knew she had to do it all,
without wasting a single beat.
She straightened her hair,
and glanced around as everyone was asleep.
She walked out of her litttle house,
feet by feet,
If she didn't do it,
her brothers would be forced to go!
to fight the war on enemy's land.
Then who would save her family,
her sisters and her sheep?
Although afraid of what lay ahead
she walked ahead to the women camp,
not stealing a single glimpse of her house.
And as alert as a mouse,
she walked ahead,
Further ahead.
Until she saw a visible light in the pitch dark path.
she had reached the army camp,
which she longed to see.
now she could save her country,
her sisters and her sheep!!!
