Saving Seventy-Five Men

Saving seventy-five men

Of the medic Desmond Doss; 
He had played the greatest role
To prevent the death or loss.

Desmond Doss refused to kill
An antagonist soldier; 
Because of his personal 
Belief in God, the Father.

Desmond Doss suffered a left

He knew that he had no choice.

to be selfish about time
when I hold
some of it as my own.
You can want
me to give it all away.
I did love.
I did my duty of love.

Acres of trees sway
Whistling wind whipping astray
