Katrina Mar 2018
you removed every feather
from the wings you once gave me
Katrina Mar 2018
A Maltese cross encircles our necks
Like a mother’s embrace
An armor of protection

This talisman
Our symbol of camaraderie
Declares our bond, our glue
Knits us together
A quilt sewn into squares
Each depicting a shared memory

This cross represents our circle of trust
Where one arm ends another begins
Chain linked
Unspoken loyalty
A wedding band of sorts

Promise to each other
That whatever we encounter
We do it as one entity
Taken from my book “Spirit” describing the loyalty of firefighters.
