My Heroine

My Heroine in life,
is my Aunt Imojean.
She was a Soldier,
in Nineteen Forty-Three.
When they sent the "Boy's" in,
That's France, Normandy.
Then, on the sixth Day,
They sent Imojean.


She was an officer
in the United States Army.
She served in triage,
in Normandy.
The "Boy's "the Boy's",
A Stark Reality.

 
Why Do We Do It,
She Said to Me,
We Do it for US,
And We Choose to live Free.
My Heroine in Life,
is my Aunt Imojean.

She came through all that,
Back to Michigan Land.
Worked Pontiac Finance,
Brave Ladies' in France.

She's, A Saint and Inspiration,
She is all, of these things.
My Heroine in Life,
Earned Her, Angles Wings.
