“The Valiant”
cji
10/14/12
Serving without
compulsion
doing a duty of
compassion
trained in nursing
skills
this need in combat
fills
nothing easy to be
done
each a life to be won
for casting aside
glamour
within war’s hellish
clamor;
The valiant serve
this need
personal lives not to
heed
preparing soldiers to
survive
helping the wounded
revive
carrying bedpans in
the night
stretching into the
day’s light
amid war’s terrible
sound
honor, duty, valiant
found!
