And so she stands
Rigid and vigilant
Atop this city crawling.
She shall protect sleepless
With countenance fixed
And stop this city falling.
Draped in scarred garments
From battles fought wearily,
The matriarch of peace through strength
Shall maintain it with her all.
She looks out upon the beauty she birthed
With a fierceness of a love undaunted
By the time ahead she shall serve such love
Until the end of all.
