When you were small and scarce could speak,
You swore a thorn had pierced your eye,
While in a sleeping bag that week
We’d brought from Cyprus you did lie.<\/p>\n

How bravely you endured the pain
Until the thorn had been removed;
How wise you seemed, when it was plain
Your diagnosis had been proved!<\/p>\n

And then, in France, some years ago
You were by hornets cruelly chased:
In shock I watched as high and low
You from those hellish harpies raced.<\/p>\n

Yet once again, though stung and dazed,
By such courageous dignity
Your shattered father you amazed
And proved your own integrity.<\/p>\n
