the brave nurse

When the bombs fell on the maternity ward,
She rescued three babies instead of running outward,
Unmindfull of collapsing ceiling and wall.
Reminds me of air traffic controller,
Who kept his calm under war's rollercoaster.
Or firefighters on a high rise in flames,
Heroism with no care for fame.
Just ordinary people passing humanity 's test
With flying colors and zero tempest.
