Note To A Hero

Bloodied strings

Of fleshy tissue 

From severed limbs,

Have been sewn

To the cornea of my eyes

Through your

Inability to heal.

 

God Bless You.

You Are Loved

....

 

 

Amazing men survive. Amazing amazing amazing. I want what you have, Bryan Anderson. I would give it away for free to so many.

My faith sometimes fails me

My faith sometimes fails me in that thought, bishu. I forgive myself for this shortcoming in faith... and still when my eyes behold unnecessary suffering, I fall. I fall, friend.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I don't know understand the

I don't know understand the comment, but ok popeye. The poem is written out of compassion for those people who find healing impossible after trauma. The video show a veteran who has overcome a great deal more than most. So when I said, "my faith fails me"...what I really meant was that "my faith has failed so many less injured than he, (the man in the video), who still appear sadly lost". I wouldn't waste my tears too much anymore on the warriors. Too many deformed babies to cry over...and I do. Anyway, most of the warriors I know would rather have it that way. They don't want to felt sorry for or pitied.
