Links of Love
by Mitzi G. Mitchell

You stand firmly with us;
Born at the end of one Great War,
Valiantly living through a Second,
Courageously you came to this new soil;
Ceaselessly working to make a warm home?
A secure future reaching forward for family.
Now fearlessly advancing into a new millennium,
You still stand firm in body and mind,
Holding a future whose tiny hands
Reach out across another hundred years?
Links of love, indestructible and strong,
Holding us all safely together as one.

Mitzi G. Mitchell, RN, GNC(C), MHSc, DNS, is a professor at York University, Atkinson School of Nursing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
