looking completely
terrified the brave
young lady and
her hungry young man
were on the run
hands, shaking
close friends arrested and
executed for their beliefs
but we were not left
to die alone in prison,
with no blood and pain.
war put their friendship right
and peace with an outcome
of courage put to the test
retained with a good night’s sleep
lonely was she when she did not
have someone in her life.
others reflected her emotional
feeling and hope was her
greatest gift when she
faced life’s hardest battles
that helped us settle
our disagreements
on a tiny battery-powered
transistor radio
