Here Is a Wall In Which To Weep

(The Vietnam Memorial)

Here is a wall, in which
to weep
For, My Loved One's memory,
it does keep
The soldiers, for whom, My
feelings run deep
Who, this awful fate, had come
to reap
Although, the price of being an
AMERICAN, doesn't come cheap
With honors, did they succumb to
Eternal Sleep
