Their Sacrifice
(ABAB Quatrains with Refrain)
.
.
Replace a bloody bandage with fresh gauze,
This soldier has been wounded for our cause.
Then wipe a cool wet cloth across his face.
Tell him his pain-filled tears are no disgrace.
.
Let him know that we appreciate his sacrifice.
.
He knows his shattered leg can be replaced,
Bullet wounds eventually erased.
He can’t control the pain that never ends,
Remembering he lost his fighting friends.
.
Let him know that we appreciate their sacrifice.
