Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Heart in your hand

July 5, 2026

You hold your heart in your hand,
and you are open to many,
but many do not understand,
and some see you as weak,
but I see strength in your willingness to listen,
and I see strength in your emotions,
and in your compassion,
whilst others see you as a victim and you,
you they cannot understand,
but you do not change,
you do not change for the world is a bitter place,
and the world is better off,
with your light that you shine upon the world,
and you are better off as you stand.
