Reflections

Every year I come to the wall

Remembering  the war of long ago

Peaceful calm I walk looking at names

Brothers and sisters who gave their lives

I touch the names of friends I have lost

Who fought for their country at any cost

I close my eyes as I touch a friends name

Ever since that day I'm not the same

Open my eyes to see  Reflections

From the past staring back at me!

Friends who died, so people can be free

They touch my hand and smile at me

Angels in heaven- Their spirits free

I often question- Why am I here?

The courage they showed they had no fear

I will always find- their reflections

Deep seated always- deep inside my mind
