Nursed Him Home

The war raged on
The battles of days turned to months
Lost of time, lost of hope
Broken and scarred from bullets flying past
The soldier alone and shaking from the cold
Shaking and alone from the warmth of another
From a time that seemed that would never come

An image appeared off in the distance
A light that seemed to break through
The soldier felt hope
The soldier felt born
An image drew close
An image came near

"Hello" a conversation started
A hand touched his forehead
A hand that reached for a pulse
Her smile shown bright as she cared for his wounds
A nurse had come to heal him
to nurse him home
