Does it matter? -losing your legs? <br />For people will always be kind, <br />And you need not show that you mind <br />When others come in after hunting <br />To gobble their muffins and eggs. <br />Does it matter? -losing you sight? <br />There’s such splendid work for the blind; <br />And people will always be kind, <br />As you sit on the terrace remembering <br />And turning your face to the light. <br />Do they matter-those dreams in the pit? <br />You can drink and forget and be glad, <br />And people won't say that you’re mad; <br />For they know that you've fought for your country, <br />And no one will worry a bit.<br /><br />Siegfried Sassoon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-it-matter/
