What They Mean To Me

Hue "68"

Go to the wall and see their names,
Memories of them are so vivid,
Why were we Blamed?

Leave your Spam,
Remember the smiles,
The tears fall,
Mines, Mortars, Rockets, Bullets,
Watched the Brave fall,
The screams so loud,
Comrades to the end. 

When I get to where you are,
Together again,
I salute you.
I love you Jar Heads,
Semper Fi.

I won't be back
For awhile to visit you,
Someone precious to me
Has come into my life,
My thoughts of that time
I will carry for the rest of my days here,
When I laugh or cry,
And when I'm scared I think of you.
I remember those painful days,
See you soon.
