The most cowardly thing was not in uniform but years before
When loveing Sandy Nieman and not understanding that I loved her
I asked her to marry me without putting weight on the fearful question
Much as the injured might put their weight on a crutch to spare a foot
I guarded feelings and used jest as crutch
For fear she would say yes or no or perhaps maybe
To the most serious question of my life.
