She is known for her compassion and her dogged determination on behalf of her clients.. YOU have no enemies, you say?. Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;. He who has mingled in the fray. Of duty, that the brave endure,. Small is the work that you have done.. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,. You’ve never turned the wrong to right,. You’ve been a coward in the fight.. My sixth grade teacher Mr. Hawks had us memorize poems. I chose this one, and I'm glad it's embedded in my mind. I've had to draw on it many times. I am constantly on the front lines, trying to make things right. I will undoubtedly draw some fire. I don't do it intentionally -- it's just part of the job.
