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.
