Appreciation



This was written for a special Boy Scout friend who was with me
when I visited the 'Wall' in Washington, DC.



You stood by my side
As I took the long walk
My heart was so empty
I could not even talk


You stood by my side
As I looked at each section
My eyes full of tears
As I made the connection


You stood by my side
As I looked at the book
For names of my friends
Who I hoped God had not took


You stood by my side
At the 'Vietnam Wall'
With care in your eyes
Which made me stand tall


You stood by my side
Which I thank you a lot
I knew you did care
Which others have forgot


To Shaun
