13 Dec 2001 Come and take a walk with me And meet some friends of mine. There are thousands of them So plan to take some time. Each and every one of them Was someone's next of kin And each and every one of them Was someone's dearest friend. You may be surprised to learn Not all of them are men. For there are several women here Whose lives came to an end. Many were so very young When off to war they went. Some of them asked to go And needed Mom's consent. We are now at the point Where East and West do meet. We are now at the place Where the circle is complete. I know we've walked so very far And seen so many names. Yet half of them are still ahead To give up now would be a shame. Some of them were older Leaving wives and kids behind. Now families come to look and hope For any peace that they can find. I think that you should know Not all the names belong. There are hundreds waiting For us to bring them home. Now we've reached the very end And thousands you have met. Can all of them depend on you Never to forget? Written while visiting Scott Cook at the Wall Donna Ward Winsett scotties@arkansas.net
