Through the Valley

The Last thing I built for my brother was his flag case My brothers name is all through this book From the battles he fought overseas I can no longer read this book For it brings sadness to me The purple heart he won for his last battle in Vietnam He took a bullet to the head and was almost dead As the years passed by we would talk about the war We both would cry many tears running down our face His life was full of misery for these images he couldn’t erase

As the years passed by we would talk about the war/ We both would cry many tears running down our face--Those two lines speak volumes! There is a sort of sacredness in this piece, the love and loss and the unspoken things...
