Princess To General

in carriefisher •  7 years ago 

Here is a poem I wrote last year for Carrie Fisher, after her passing. I wrote another one, but that one has been accepted into a collection, so I can't share it yet. Hope you all enjoy. You're still loved, Space Mom. <3

Princess to General

Princess you stood,
Strong and defiant,
Calm and controlled.
You showed us a woman
Belongs at the lead.

General you returned to us.
Still standing tall.
Weary from fighting.
Calm and collected.
The equal of any man.

Princess to General.
You taught us so much.
How to hold our heads up.
How to speak up.
How to take no crap.

Princess to General.
Where did you go?

I also like the memes and art that were going around when Wonder Woman came out: from Princess Buttercup to her Amazonian General aunt. 😄

Those were all fantastic and gave me so much life!
