Are We Home Yet ?
 
 
 
Are we there yet?
These are the words I asked,
When in Vietnam,
my ears were still wet.
 
Are they here yet?
The words I asked,
When Charlie was close,
But we could not see them yet.
 
I will not forget,
The words that I cried,
As all my brothers around me,
Stood and took the fall,
And others cried.
 
Are we home yet?
The words that I cried,
When Charlie caught me,
And made me a POW/MIA.
 
Alone with my brothers,
We hoped and we prayed,
That someone would find us,
Alive and unscathed.
 
Am I Home Yet?
 
The words I spoke,
Before I took my last breath,
When Charlie had haunted me,
Forever to my Grave.
 
You are Home now,
no one will forget,
The tortures you faced,
Before you became,
The Vietnam Vet.
