If you are able
Save for them a place
Inside of you….
And save one backward glance
When you are leaving
For the Places
They can no longer go…
Be not ashamed to say
You loved them
Though you may or may not have
Always…….
Take what they have taught
You with their dying
And keep it with your own…
And in that time
When Americans decide to call the
War insane,
Take one moment to embrace those
Gentle heroes….
America….left behind….
