VIETNAM VETERAN’S PRAYER
Long ago, which seems like yesterday,
No it’s today.
I saw the horror end,
And the nightmares begin.
I saw brave men die,
And be buried in shallow graves.
I saw cowards come home,
To a hero’s praise.
I saw children killed,
With skill.
I saw good friends pray,
Just to see another day.
I saw them die,
And had to wonder why.
I pray each night,
That someday I might.
Know that we were there,
With hope to share.
Vernon Denman
Viet Vet 1969
