Ireland's warrior queen

Feet of stealth
fists of fury
mind of a champ
thing of beauty
is she the best?
she is surely,
Ireland's warrior queen

Voice so humble
focused mind
Irish athlete
of a different kind
generation inspired
joy we find,
Ireland's warrior queen

Battling bravely
facing blows
even harder
when she throws
thumping jab
never slows,
Ireland's warrior queen

Mna na heireann
have you seen
the greatest among you
mean and lean
nation rejoices
gold meets green,
Katie Taylor
Ireland's warrior queen.
