This is a poem I wrote several years ago after I visited the traveling Vietnam Veteran's Wall when it came through town. The Wall was here for Memorial Day again this year, but I didn't visit it this time. No way!
I Stand Watch Here
Here's to the boys who made the noise
Whose names are on the wall.
Here's to the boys who died with poise
Whose names I can't recall.
Dread not comrade, have no fear
All is well, I stand watch here.
Dread not brother, shed no tears
All is well, I stand watch here.
