A Newsnight interview with the Falklands War hero , Simon Harris. 15/12/08 BBC2
"Could have been worse."
Said the blinded soldier.
"If I gave my sight
To save six men's lives,
Then it was worth it."
Yes, it was.
But I cry for you,
Tears of love and pride
At your humanity,
At your insight.
Tears of awe
At your inspiration
And modesty.
Tears of gladness,
Tears of joy
That you are blessed
With acceptance,
The first key
To happiness.

Could Have Been Worse
"Could have been worse."
Said the blinded soldier.
"If I gave my sight
To save six men's lives,
Then it was worth it."
Yes, it was.
But I cry for you,
Tears of love and pride
At your humanity,
At your insight.
Tears of awe
At your inspiration
And modesty.
Tears of gladness,
Tears of joy
That you are blessed
With acceptance,
The first key
To happiness.
