Hello she said with a beautiful smile Ill be your nurse at least for a while She reached over and brushed the hair from my face and wiped away the tears Dont be afraid honey Ive been doing this for years
You,ve been with us for a few days yet I know none of it you are able to recall So if you have any questions Ill try to answer them all You were wounded in a battle that was fought in the night Somehow your enemy got in and tried to destroy everything in sight
Dont shed tears for your brothers for they all made it through The worst that happened happened to you They didnt think you were going to make it when they brought you in Thats why Ive come to see that you live again
Ill remain at your side till you need me no more Now you must relax sleep a little you have a great future in store You are in good hands and you have done your best You saved them all when you covered the gernade with your chest
Sarge screamed the young man as he tried to sit upright Wheres the nurse the one that held my hand last night There are no nurses son yet they both could not denie the sweet lingering smell But there are angles and someday this story we both will tell
