With their caring hands they touch them,
They are with them in their trauma
in their fear, in their anguish,
as they are shattered, bleeding,
in the trenches, in the battle,
in the mud, under the smoke,
carrying their own kit, the weight,
of the injured in their hands,
those blown up, shot, by Russia,
giving aid and comfort to
their brothers and sisters in arms...
 
They too are exhausted
by the blood, the carnage,
by the trauma before them
by the nightmares, the burden
that they carry each day with them
aware of every death,
every life lost,
knowing this war will not end
neatly, or quickly, continuing
soldiering onward, offering
the healing of human touch...
 
Combat medics stand in the vanguard
with their comrades on the frontlines
not in a rear position, safe,
facing the same dangers,
bleeding, dying for their country,
standing in the gap created
by Russia’s war of genocide,
bloodied yet unbowed,
touching the wounded and dying,
on the line for Ukraine,
answering freedom’s call...

On the front lines, in the trenches,
bandaging the wounded,
rising in the ranks to leadership,
defending their country,
fighting for its right to exist...
They stand with their brothers
the best daughters of Ukraine...
May we honor their call...
 
There is metal in their words
in their lives, their choices,
for they sacrifice their dreams,
in fidelity to their country,
standing in the breach,
suffering with their nation,
giving their lives for their people,
but never losing themselves...
 
They are sisters in arms, together,
warriors in this battle, united,
standing beside brothers in arms,
joined together, as one people,
to defeat Russia’s evil, this terror,
fighting valiantly, courageously,
against twelve years of genocide,
for their nation to survive...
 
They may be in body armor, on the front,
but they have never lost their womanhood,
their femininity, their beauty, power...
They choose to sacrifice, to give,
living for their country, their people,
unsure of the future, in this struggle,
But they stand sure in their purpose,
their call, to stand vigilant, on point,
as the tip of Ukraine’s spear...

Edited because a defender asked me to write about
women fighting in defense of Ukraine, in response to me sharing my poem,
“Разом об'єднані “, “Together United”:
“Thank you so much. It is very important to write about women warrior.
It’s a big part of our defence.”

Freedom has finally come

She accepted her hammer,
the baton has been passed,
a new generation not going back,
ready to finish the task before us…
 
With every swing of her hammer,
parts of the ceiling are coming down,
a hope is rising in this land, joy,
Freedom has finally come…
 
She has taken the mantle, the charge,
to carry the torch farther, to strive,
to march a little longer, to succeed,
to walk through the door that they opened…
 
With every swing of her hammer,
the glass ceiling is being broken,
a way for us all to strive, to triumph,
Freedom has finally come…

With every step of her journey,

Long for our Savior
