Poem written by Benjamin Wells A.R.A.M 1879 for his daughter Janet...
The Red Cross sister sails over the Main
On a mission of mercy, nol greed of gain
Leaves Father and mother and dearest riends
To Succour the wounded they dyuing to tend.
Strong in her faith this sister so brave
Frears no danger wherever there's life to save
And when that's past hope she cheers their last breath
With the glorious prmise of life after death.
This Red Cross sister has powerful friends
Who vie with each other to further her ends
So when war and pestilence ravage the land
True Charity comes from the Stafford House Band
Benjamin Wells A.R.A.M 1879
