Whether we reflect on the boy who saved Amsterdam,
By putting his finger in a small whole in the dike,
Or the soldier who fell on the grenade
And gave his life for his buddies, we recognize heroism.
What of the woman who refused to delay her vacation trip
Because her fool of a hairdresser did not have an opening
The day prior to our heroine’s flight?
The mind crashes attempting to grasp the whole gestalt.
She will be weeks without a “new do”.
Will her hair color hold or fade to blah?
How will her fans respond to this unprecedented breach?
New books, plays and operas will honor her deed.
Children will carry her name with head erect.
She has crashed through the slightly rose tinted social
barrier.
Her great sacrifice will know no equal.
