10 Aug 2005Emotions At The WallTime has come to keep your memories,Finally allowing past times and events go. We will visit on every given opportunity, Honoring all listed on these precious tablets of stone. From life's trials you've been spared, Thank God for some were cruel. Time has healed most and cleared the air, Restoring respect and dignity to brothers you knew. Healing for some contines on, Their hearts and minds affected more. Still living life like they're in Vietnam, On and on rages their war. Myself, as I stand here looking at your name, Unable to hold back the tears. Wondering if our friendship would be the same, Remembering fondly our youthful years. My Brother, I will never forsake you, Wherever life guides me, you will go. Time has come to keep and treasure your memories, Letting the pain of your loss flow from my soul.
