RED CROSS NOTES
This Tenderness
Men mortally wounded in war;
Men hurt and undone by the bitter-
ness of killing,
These men need tenderness;
It is found on battlefields.,
in hospitals,
In prison camps; ,
In the pain and terror of bombing
raids
From Red Cross' centres
This tenderness manifests itself
In many ways.
This tenderness comes in tins of
;food
In packets of cigarettes
In medical' supplies;
It comes in blood serum,
It comes in prisoners parcels;
It comes in warm clothing for
Shipwrecked sailors.
It comes in quilts and blankets
In warm coats and stockings;
It comes in scarves and mittens
And pyjamas and "nighties";
It .comes in layettes 'and nursing bot-
tles
For babies of the Blitz,
Yon can't BUY :this tenderness.
It's not for sale.
It's (reel
It's like a bottomless well.
It's like an ever -flowing spring,
It's like earth . . . and sky . .. and
sea.
It goes on forever.
It MUST go•on forever
This tenderness thuttis: GIVEN tend.
