To A Grandfather On The Wall
So many Grandfathers and Great-grandfathers are on the Wall
There is a gap left in my life that can never filled at all
Many grandchildren have never known a grandpa’s arms
because his life was taken because of Vietnam’s harms
It is said that one never misses what one never had
but your absence...Grandpa...has always made me sad
I am so proud to have your name up there pointed out to me
but…Grandpa...I lowered my head so my tears you would not see
I am so very sorry that you had to die
Grandpa...I never knew you and still do not understand why...
and...Grandpa…it cannot be true that soldiers never cry...
