For you there is no Wall, there is only my fading memories that grow weaker with time
These solemn fading memories are slightly brightened by my nightmares in the night, nightmares that recall the horror of your deaths and the extreme sadness I feel because I couldn't save you
For you there is no Wall, your deaths are honored only in my fading memories. This honor must not ever be lost but how do I maintain the memories so very, very important
The nightmares are terrible but without them, the honor of knowing you wonderful people will be forever lost
My Scouts, my wonderful Montagnards, the honor of fighting beside you is fading with my memory.
You gave so much to me and I couldn't save you
I feel I failed you so badly
Now my memory is fading and I am failing you even more. If I forget you, my guilt will be unbearable
I pray the nightmares continue because without them, I fear I will lose you and the honor you desire so very much. © 17 July 2005 Charles Schwiderski Awarded 17 July 2005 |
