He Remains |
 |
|
All these years
have passed,
since Vietnam,
and most all of 66.
I have grown away from war in the many years of age,
yet the lean young soldier still remains,
somewhere within,
... and he never goes away.
A friend said "We answer to the man in the mirror!"
so I went there, and saw 62 years of flesh,
and white hair,
and a white beard,
and all the signs of an old man.
Suddenly!
I saw him once again,
staring right at me!
The same as he was.
I found him!
He lives within my eyes! |
