Under the Shade of Burden’s Bloom

Title: Under the Shade of Burden’s Bloom

Beneath the weight of duty’s might,
A soldier’s heart trembles with worry’s plight.
Second in command, burdened anew,
In Austin’s absence, duties true.

News sudden, like lightning’s blaze,
Hospitalization, a soul’s malaise.
Shoulders stoop, yet spirits rise,
A pledge of strength, trust never dies.

Tasks undertaken, burden shared,
With steadfast purpose, they’re no longer scared.
For camaraderie shields the weary,
Hand in hand, united and cheery.

Days pass by with bated breath,
Hope flickers like a flame in death.
Whispers of recovery unfurl,
A prayer for healing, this somber whirl.

In that hospital room, hopes convene,
Life’s resilience, a warrior’s sheen.
Austin’s return, a triumphant sight,
Defying odds, victory’s light.
