The Wall at Night
By Franklin Price
11/28/2018

The wall at night is haunting
Many names are written there
Ones who gave their lives for freedom
For others in our care

Looking back for all the reasons
Most of them are ill defined
To account for all upon the wall
Who were lost, now brought to mind

Night lights reflect upon the names
When looking East along the wall
The obelisk to our first president
Points to heaven for them all

Excellent rhyme Franklin. Liberty lies not merely in being free from something, but in being free for something. Fair well.
