There were so many of them, and they were so ill
But he was a nurse and he went of free will
Into the heart of Ebola-filled houses
Full of sick husbands and children and spouses.
In extraordinary suits that covered the body
With death a reward for doing it shoddy
They covered up everything one’s eye could see
This image is of courage to people like me.
But if you should think that it wasn’t too bad
Let me dispel those fool thoughts that you might have had
For many of the nurses and some doctors too
Died along with their patients, as some brave people do.
This nurse was infected like others before
But he’s fully recovered and gone back to help more.

A small tribute to William Pooley, a nurse who survived
being infected with Ebola and returned to Sierra Leone.

Sensational write!! Ebola is scary.
Thank you very much Debra. William Pooley is such a brave man, I’ve admired him ever since I heard he was going the first time. When I heard that he had been infected, later cured, and then later still gave samples of his plasma for research into a vaccine, and that he was going back to Sierra Leone, I was amazed at his selfless bravery. xx
Such bravery and dedication. Thank you for the follow. I enjoy yours!
Thank you so much. Your site gives such pleasure. ☺
You just made my day :_)
