[ Valentines 2018 ] Purple Hearts
Poetry to nurse the wounded
warriors having stumbled
upon land mines
shuttled back from Front Lines
on little red wheelbarrows
and other assorted
makeshift carts
Two
Few
Brave
Not so Proud at times
---we gave it Our all
We continue to give
despite every failed
parachute freefall from
great height above;
still the will to Live
We were born to Love
pressing onward day and night
on weary feet, wounded knees
no matter how terrible
the pain smarts
Fierce the flames of Freedom
its fanned furnace
burns within Us
worthy of these
Purple Hearts
