Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Tough Way To Earn Wings

Pandemic crisis
Hospital overload
Unprecedented
Panic mode

Double shifts
No time for tears
No one signed up
For a suicide mission

Heroes collapsing
One after the other
Earning their wings
And our respect

Quoth Theraven April 22, 2020 at 10:18 PM Line, Sure is a tough way to earn your wings. I take a moment in a busy day to think on the ones who provide their skills as caregivers. Loved, and missed are two of them. Prayers for all. Very nice and thoughtful write. -Richard Line Gauthier April 23, 2020 at 12:35 AM Thanks, Richard. Much appreciated.
