No one could give more
Because of that
I'm here and . . .You're gone.
You were called to serve
You were proud to go
Maybe a little scared
But prepared to do . . .What you must.
High hopes and big dreams
You carried with you
To the faraway land
Across the sea . . .Leaving me.
Then the telegram arrived
Your hopes and dreams
Were gone with you
Left over there . . .With mine.
Now, twenty years later
I stand here with tears
Remembering
You did your job . . .You gave it all.
The glimmer from the sun
Reflects into my eyes
I see your face
Smiling at me . . .Behind your name
On The Wall.
Written for the many who proudly served
Yet didn't return from Vietnam.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
