A poem taken out of my new book, Raising Maidens of Virtue. The picture at the bottom was also taken from the next page, I took a picture of it. 
Used from Chapter 15 “A Knight in Shining Armor”
A Maiden’s Warfare
by Carol A. DeLadurantey
Press on to heights of glory now,
And keep thou steady eye.
One must not falter in this fight,
Though some may flee or fly.
Take hold the charge thou has been given,
To battle we must go.
But not with our own maiden hands
Do we take up shield or bow.
We wage this war in words and actions,
With our every deed.
We follow Christ our captain,
Thro’ him we will succeed.
Tell me now have we forgot
The charge from God above
To keep our hearts in purity, grace,
Modesty, truth and love.
These are our weapons, our shields, our swords;
In this battle we now fight.
We strive not for an earthly king,
But for our God of truth and might!
