Touched by fire

She was born of the dragon

With that glint in her eye

A spirit of iron

Chin always held high

From the time she was birthed

We followed her 'round

A leader so natural

We subjects were bound

Her body was tiny

Her muscles were frail

The tissues oft failed her

The pain made her pale

And yet - she's a dragon

She won't be kept down

Her body might protest

But her mind wears a crown

She's smart as a whip

And quick as a dart

The fire in her words

Might just tear you apart

She's bold and she's fierce

She brave and she's kind

She loves without fear

A mercurial mind

She can't stand a bully

She sides with the meek

Her small knees might tremble

But the truth she will speak

For a dragon she is

Though her body is small

When no-one believes

She's still standing tall

Too clever to trick

Too stubborn to break

She always gives more

Than she deigns to take

She's born of the dragon

She's touched by the fire

And as long as she loves you

You're safe from her ire.
