Excerpt from the poem

"Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bullets,

you did not do it with a banner,

you did it with only a hat to cover your heart.

You did not fondle the weakness inside you

though it was there.

Your courage was a small coal

that you kept swallowing.

If your buddy saved you

and died himself in so doing,

then his courage was not courage,

it was love; love as simple as shaving soap."
