Poem

I Would like to Have Someone,
Tell Me it Will Be Okay,
Just Take it Slow and Easy,
And Try to Get Through Each Day.

Nightmares and Night-sweats Haunt Me,
And Invade Me While I Sleep.
Flash Backs and Deep Dark Depression
Doesn’t Help Find Answers I Seek.

I Try Not to Think Too Much,
Because Things Come Creeping In.
Dear God! How Do I Make it Stop?
Is it Never Going to End?

I Saw a Cut on a Child’s Hand,
And My Mind Went Reeling Away...
Back to a Time in Vietnam,
I Can Still See Clearly Today,

It Was a Day like Any Other,
That You Would Find in Vietnam,
The Attack Was Quick and Deadly.
When I Came To, I Had Lost John.

One Minute He Is Laughing and Joking,
The Next, He No Longer Exists.
Yes, I Can See it Very Clearly,
As They Add John’s Name to the List.

Finally the Fog Clears Away,
Then Clarity Comes to Call,
But Sometimes I Wonder Who Is Better Off....
Me...or Those Named on the Wall.
